Netherlands vs England Euro 2024 prediction, team news & confirmed line-ups

A place in the Euro 2024 final is on the line when historic European underachievers Netherlands and England clash at the BVB Stadion in Dortmund on Wednesday at 8pm (UK time).

Netherlands vs England latest prediction

The Netherlands had a mixed start in the tournament. They had a comeback victory against Poland and a goalless draw with France. However, they had a dramatic 3-2 loss to Austria. Despite this, they advanced to be one of the best third-place teams. In the round of 16, they comfortably beat Romania 3-0, with Cody Gakpo scoring his third goal of the championship. This made Gakpo the third Dutch player to score 3+ goals at two different major tournaments, joining Johnny Rep (1974 & 1978 World Cups) and Dennis Bergkamp (Euro 1992, World Cups in 1994 & 1998). A hard-fought victory from behind against Turkey followed to confirm a place in a European Championship semi-final for the first time since 2004.

In Group C, England’s performance fell short of their potential; however, Gareth Southgate’s side managed to clinch the top spot, remaining undefeated. Throughout all three matches, flashes of excellence were evident from key players Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane. Bellingham’s impactful overhead kick forced extra time in the Round of 16 win against Slovakia, culminating in Kane’s decisive goal. In the encounter with Switzerland, England overcame a deficit with Bukayo Saka’s equaliser, ultimately prevailing in the penalty shootout by converting all five spot kicks. The Three Lions are one victory away from securing a second consecutive European Championship final berth.

Netherlands latest team news

  • Confirmed Netherlands team (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake; Schouten, Reijnders; Malen, Simons, Gakpo; Depay

Ronald Koeman had maintained the same starting lineup for the Netherlands’ first two knockout games.

However, there were uncertainties. Steven Bergwijn had not made a significant impact on the right wing. His position was being challenged by Jeremie Frimpong, who usually plays as a right wing-back for Bayer Leverkusen, and Donyell Malen, who scored two goals after coming off the bench in the Round of 16 and has now come into the first team.

It would have been a surprise to see Wout Weghorst start up front, as he has been a key substitute for the team in the tournament. However, there were calls for him to be in Koeman’s lineup after making an impact when he came on against Turkey in the quarter-finals.

Oranje have been using a flexible 4-2-3-1 system. Xavi Simons has been supporting Memphis Depay, and Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo has been a major threat on the left side. Nathan Aké continues at left-back instead of Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven.

England latest team news

  • Confirmed England XI (3-4-2-1): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier; Foden, Bellingham; Kane

Despite getting England this far, questions about Southgate’s strategy and tactics are still being raised. The highly anticipated switch to a three-man defence ahead of the game against Switzerland was not a significant departure from previous game plans.

Despite, Luke Shaw’s return from injury, Southgate has persisted with the system that eliminated Switzerland, bringing in Marc Guehi — available after his one-game ban – for Ezri Konsa, who performed excellently in his absence.

Netherlands vs England head-to-head

England have only beaten the Netherlands once in nine meetings since their 4-1 win at Euro 96. That victory, on home soil, is also their only win in major tournaments. Additionally, they had a goalless draw at Italia 90, and Oranje won 3-1 at the 1988 Euros.
