Netherlands have been fun to watch at Euro 2020 and should prove too classy for the Czech Republic in Budapest, judged on the evidence seen so far. The Dutch have proven performers in key areas and a highly-promising supporting cast is helping them to play with plenty of self-belief.
Netherlands are expected to complete a hat-trick of wins in Euro 2020 Group C by brushing aside pointless North Macedonia in Amsterdam. Frank de Boer may take this opportunity to rest a few players but their opponents have been very open at the back in two defeats so far.
Netherlands and Austria should be full of confidence following entertaining wins in the first round of Group C games at Euro 2020. Both managers seem keen to play in a positive manner and it will be slightly surprising if this does not end up another action-packed contest.
Netherlands have a fine European Championship pedigree and some big names in their current squad but Ukraine enter Euro 2020 with a progressive profile. The yellow and blues have performed well against several powerful opponents over the past 12 months and can be competitive in Amsterdam.
Any debate about which nation will win the European Championship will naturally centre around the relative strengths and weaknesses of each squad and their key players. However, an often-overlooked factor is the Euro 2020 draw itself.
Netherlands have established themselves as one of the contenders for Euro 2020 glory and can see off Scotland in Wednesday’s warm-up match. The Scots have played with great spirit under Steve Clarke to also reach this summer’s big event but they do have limitations.
If good things come to those who wait then fans of international football are in for a treat this summer at Euro 2020. The tournament was postponed due to the continent being in lockdown last year but on June 11 it is finally set to kick off. In anticipation we have looked back at how each of the 24 Euro 2020 teams qualified for the tournament.
Netherlands have been hit with some injury problems at the back for the latest international break and Spain are fancied to take advantage in Amsterdam. La Roja will be keen to bounce back from a surprise Nations League loss to Ukraine last time out and have several in-form front men at the moment.
Michael O’Neill will be hoping to sign off his tenure as Northern Ireland boss on a high but faces a daunting test when the Netherlands visit Belfast. O’Neill is still in charge despite securing a switch to Championship club Stoke and will at least oversee this game and a trip to Germany in Euro 2020 Group C.
Netherlands were almost caught napping by Northern Ireland but will hopefully be more on the ball when visiting Belarus in Euro 2020 Group C. A fully focused Dutch outfit should be able to secure a smooth success in Minsk, against opponents who have failed to score in their last four home games.
Bitter rivals Germany and Netherlands are set for another blockbuster battle in Hamburg but we just favour the hosts in this Euro 2020 qualifier. Die Mannschaft have already defeated the Dutch 3-2 in Amsterdam in Group C and that should allow them to play with more freedom here.
With the UEFA Nations League now on hold until the summer, the England national team can turn its attention to the qualifying campaign for Euro 2020. Ahead of the first matches kicking off later this week, we’ve analysed data on every qualifying campaign since Euro 96 to see what might be in store for Gareth Southgate’s young side.
