In the final group stage match of Euro 2024, the Netherlands faces Austria. The Netherlands, with 4 points, are certain to progress, while Austria, thanks to a victory against Poland, has good chances to qualify as well, potentially even as one of the best third-placed teams. But what will happen here, let’s check out in this betting preview.
Netherlands Team News
The Netherlands drew 0-0 against France in their last match, failing to showcase their full potential. With qualification already secured, they may not be as motivated to push for a win, potentially allowing Austria opportunities. Also, I do not exclude the chance to see some players from the bench, playing in this encounter.
Austria Team News
Austria, managed by Ralf Rangnick, plays offensive football and will be looking to capitalise on any weaknesses shown by the Netherlands. Their strong performance across all phases of the game makes them a formidable opponent. The symbolic guests are in good position to look for the third place in the group, but it might not be enough to qualify for the next stage. This is why, after the great victory against Poland, they will look for the win or the draw at least.
Head-to-Head-Games
Historically, the Netherlands has dominated this fixture, winning nearly 90% of their encounters with Austria. This past success gives them a psychological edge, although it does not guarantee future results.
Netherlands – Austria Betting Prediction
Given Austria’s need to secure at least a point to bolster their chances of progressing, they will be highly motivated. The Netherlands, with qualification secured, may not be as driven. Austria’s offensive approach and well-rounded play under Rangnick make them a good bet to avoid defeat. Considering all the options and Austria’s form, betting on the symbolic guests not to lose (X2 on double chance) seems a reasonable and strategic choice.
