After missing out on Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup, the Netherlands are finally back among the big guns after losing just one of their eight qualifying matches for this tournament. However, with Frank de Boer struggling to inspire convincing performances since taking over from Ronald Koeman, expectations are still relatively low regarding this side, though the likes of Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst will undoubtedly pose serious goalscoring threats.
They face a Ukraine side widely regarded as one of the dark horses at Euro 2020. Andriy Shevchenko’s side are a supremely organised defensive unit, while the likes of Ruslan Malinovskyi and Andriy Yarmolenko are capable of moments of magic. If Ukraine can get off the mark quickly here against the Dutch, who knows what trajectory both sides could follow throughout this tournament.
