The match between the Netherlands and England might be one of the best in the tournament. This is not only because of the stage of the competition but also because both teams are under pressure, and sometimes, that gets the best out of them.
Netherlands News
Gakpo, Depay, and Simmons on the pitch present a nightmare for any defense. We’ve seen the Oranje falling behind on a couple of occasions here in Germany, yet a very potent attack corrected that and brought them wins. That was the case against Turkey for example, when they won 2-1 in the quarterfinals.
Remarkably, in their last nine games, only one match featured fewer than 2.5 goals. Throughout this period, Oranje netted two or more goals in nine appearances. This is why we say their offense is fantastic.
England News
Since the beginning of EURO 2024, England hasn’t shown anything. Occasional blasts from Bellingham and sometimes Saka (who often takes more than he gives), and that was it. Reaching the semis was more luck than judgment for the Albion.
In Germany, each of England’s five matches has featured fewer than 2.5 goals, with three finishing in 1-1 stalemates. This lack of offensive flair is concerning, given the presence of talented players. Let us remind that England has the European Golden Boot, Harry Kane. Among others.
Netherlands vs. England Head to Head
The last competitive showdown between these two football giants occurred in the 2019 UEFA Nations League. The match concluded at 1-1 after 90 minutes, but the Oranje triumphed in extra time with a 3-1 victory.
Netherlands vs. England Betting Tip
Overall, we believe more in Oranje’s performances than in England’s. In our opinion, they are closer to reaching the finals, and our pick will be for them to advance. Simply, the Netherlands seems more confident on the field, and that’s it.
