Netherlands out to resist Hungary advances

The Netherlands have won all five of their UEFA EURO 2012 Group E fixtures and could go nine points clear atop their section if they repeat Friday's victory against Hungary in Amsterdam on Tuesday. They will have to manage without Arjen Robben, qualifying leading scorer Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and captain Mark van Bommel, however. Sweden will aim to bounce back from their 4-1 October loss in Amsterdam at home to Moldova while bottom pair San Marino and Finland return to action when they meet on 3 June. UEFA.com rounds up the team news.
