Wales manager Chris Coleman has insisted that his side can cause problems for the Netherlands when the two teams meet on Wednesday evening.
Louis van Gaal has bemoaned the fact that Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey will not be appearing at the Amsterdam ArenA, but Coleman believes there is no need to fear the Dutch.
"It's obvious we want our strongest team every game, not just against Holland, but it is not always possible," the Wales boss told reporters.
"If we are at our best, we give them a test. We want a performance and a result. It'll be a tough game but we can learn some things about ourselves.
"It is not time for us to stand back and admire them. We respect the likes of Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben, they're both great players, but we're not going in there with a fear factor. We can compete."
Joe Allen will captain Wales against the 2010 World Cup finalists.
