Australia coach Ange Postecoglou promised the Socceroos won't sit back against a dangerous Dutch side as his team fights to stay in the tournament.
Postecoglou said his transitional side, whose hopes are hanging by a thread after opening with a 3-1 loss to Chile, would not try to defend their way to safety.
"We know we have to be strong defensively, the Dutch are dangerous going forward as they showed against Spain," he told media ahead of Wednesday's game.
"We know that van Persie and Robben will be a challenge but we knew that coming into the tournament.
"In saying that we also need to be attack-minded, we can't just defend for 90 minutes."
