Netherlands vs England Prediction & Betting tips
Another match as a final is the second semi-final of Euro 2024, where the Netherlands will face England. The game is played on Wednesday at 20:00 at the Signal Iduna Park stadium in Dortmund. The two national teams met quite rarely in the final tournaments, two confrontations taking place at the Euro and only one at the World Cup, all confrontations taking place in groups. 32 years ago, the last confrontation took place at a final tournament, at Euro 1996 where England won 4-1 and qualified further from the first place in the group, while the Netherlands finished in 2nd place. At Euro 1988, the Netherlands won 3-1, while the only match at the World Cup took place in 1990 and ended in a draw, score 0-0. The last and most recent confrontation took place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League in 2021, where the Netherlands won 3-1 after extra time, the score at the end of 90 minutes being equal, 1-1.
Netherlands:
The Netherlands finished in 3rd place in group D, and the calculations were very good for them, because in the following phases they met lower-ranked opponents. The Netherlands had started the final Euro 2024 tournament well, with a victory, score 2-1 against Poland, then followed the draw without goals, score 0-0 against France, and in the last game they disappointed, being defeated by Austria with 3-2, even though the score difference was not very big. The best match from this final tournament for the Netherlands came in the round of 16, where they beat Romania 3-0, after a match almost completely controlled. In the quarter-finals, however, the Netherlands had a weak first half in the game against Turkey, being led at halftime with 1-0, but in the second half they recovered and turned the score around, achieving a great qualification in the semi-finals. In the final, the Netherlands, if it passes England, could face the opponent in the group, France, the team that in turn will have to pass Spain.
England:
On the other hand, England will play the second consecutive semi-final at a final tournament, be it European or world, and if it qualifies in the final, it will mark another first, namely two consecutive Euro finals. England’s national football team hasn’t impressed too much so far at this final tournament, although they finished group C in first place with five points, ahead of Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia. In the round of 16, England was a few seconds away from being eliminated so early, Bellingham’s magic goal at the end of the match sent the match to extra time, where Harry Kane scored the qualifying goal and avoided the shots from 11m. The same cannot be said about the quarter-final match with Switzerland, which was decided on penalty kicks, Akanji, the Swiss defender who plays for Manchester City, was the only player who missed, and England qualified further.
