As a result, Lazio target Stefan De Vrij takes his place in the side once more, while Arjen Robben and Robin Van Persie will look to build upon excellent individual displays against the world champions.
Australia meanwhile make two changes to the team beaten 3-1 by Chile. They know that defeat to the Dutch would all but confirm they cannot make the Last 16.
This afternoon’s referee in Porto Alegre is Djamel Haimoudi of Algeria. Kick-off is at 17.00 BST.
