Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Netherlands and Qatar compare ahead of Tuesday's World Cup clash between the two sides.

Host nation Qatar take on the Netherlands in their final 2022 FIFA World Cup group-stage outing at the Al Bayt Stadium on Monday afternoon.

Having suffered an early exit from this year's edition of football's biggest event, Felix Sanchez's men will be looking to bow out in style.

Louis van Gaal's men, on the other hand, set out to confirm their place in the knockout phase and possible finish as winners of Group A.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of the Netherlands and Qatar stack up against each other ahead of Tuesday's matchup.
