Netherlands vs Greece Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro

Prediction published on 05/09/2023, 08:04  by Daniel Ngulu in Euro Predictions

The Netherlands will seek to stabilize their place in Group B of the Euro 2024 qualifiers when they host Greece. Going into round four of the qualifiers, the hosts are fourth on three points, while Greece have three points more, in second. The Netherlands haven't done well in recent times. While they topped their Nations League group, it wasn’t all great at the finals, with losses to Croatia and Italy. The 3-2 loss to Italy in their last game, in June was the fourth defeat in five. They’ve won just once in the five matches, a 3-0 victory over Gibraltar. That’s also their only clean sheet in six matches. All their last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals, Netherlands conceding two or more goals in four. However, they’ve scored two or more in seven of the last 10 matches. The Dutch, by virtue of having topped their Nations League group, have a playoff slot secured.

Greece have played a game more than the Netherlands so they will want to scale up after this game. They beat Gibraltar and Ireland before falling to France 1-0 in their most recent game. That defeat is their only loss in four matches but they haven't kept clean sheets in the last two games. Three of their last five matches have had over 2.5 goals. Playing away from home, Greece have managed one win in the last five games. They beat Gibraltar 3-0 in that game and they’ll know the opponent they meet here is tougher. Three of their last four matches away from home had over 2.5 goals. Like the Dutch, Greece also have a ticket to the playoffs as one of the top finishers in their Nations League group. This will be key for them as they’re six points behind leaders France. The last time these two nations met in competitive action was in 1991.
