Northern Ireland will host Netherlands in the penultimate round of matches in Group C of the Euro 2020 qualifiers this Saturday. Going to the game, Netherlands are top of the group with 15 points, while Northern Ireland have managed 12 points and are third. Two straight losses in the group have put Northern Ireland at risk of missing out after having started the competition well. They lost 3-1 to Netherlands in their last match and will be hoping home advantage works for them here. They are coming from a friendly win over Czech Republic but the challenge will be tougher here. In the last five matches Northern Ireland have three wins. In the last 10 matches, they have managed six wins and three losses. They have scored in eight of the last 10 matches and kept four clean sheets in the process. In their last 12 matches in Euro qualifiers, Northern Ireland have lost just two and have scored in nine of the last 10 Euro qualification matches. Defensively, they have not been very strong; they have two clean sheets in the last 10 Euro qualification matches. However, at home they have done well, winning five, and losing one in the last eight Euro qualification matches. They have scored in seven of 10 Euro qualification matches at home.

Netherlands on the other hand, have four straight wins and a loss in their last five. They have two losses and eight wins in the last 12 matches. Their last four matches have each produced over 2.5 goals but they have one clean sheet in seven matches. Netherlands have scored two or more goals in nine of the last 10 matches. In Euro qualification matches, they have four straight wins and their last nine matches in the competition have produced over 2.5 goals each. Away from home, they have still been as good, winning their last four. Netherlands missed the last Euro Championships as well as the 2018 World Cup and look at this as a chance at redemption. They go to this game unbeaten in the last five meetings with Northern Ireland, winning three and two ending in draws.
