Holland coach Marco van Basten, whose team is third in Euro 2008 qualifying Group G, said his aim is not to lose a point in the upcoming games against Bulgaria and Albania.

Van Basten's team will play against the Bulgarians in Amsterdam on Saturday, before travelling to Tirana to play Albania four days later.

"We have to set records straight," he told www.knvb.nl. "Our goal is clear to us. We must qualify for Euro 2008, that is the main task.

"First we meet Bulgaria, and that is an immediate key game. Four days later it's Albania.

"If we make it without losing points in these two games we will have taken a big step towards qualification, because we will have put a gap between us and Bulgaria," added Van Basten, whose team trails Dimitar Penev's side by a point with a game in hand.

He continued: "We are not tense but we are curious. We have very interesting young players in the group and we are making steps together. Compared to three years ago this group has made many improvements and that is very positive. Looking at that we are curious to see if the developments continue like that."

Meanwhile a survey conducted by the "Algemeen Dagblad" newspaper found out that the Dutch fans want Van Basten to use the classic 4-4-2 line-up against Bulgaria.

Bulgaria coach Penev appears set to once again use his favoured 4-3-3 formation.

Bulgaria is currently second in the qualifying Group G, two points behind Romania and one ahead of Holland, who has one game in hand. The three games played so far between the three teams, the main favourites for two qualification places, have all been drawn.
