Netherlands vs England Prediction & Picks - Euro
by Stephen Abiola | in Euro Picks
It's the Netherlands versus England in the 2024 Euro semifinals. The Orange became the fourth semifinalists after defeating Turkey 2-1 in the quarter-finals on Saturday evening. Samet Akaydin put the Turkish side ahead in the 35th minute before Stefan de Vrij thumped in a header to level the scores in the 70th minute. Ronald Koeman's side got the second and the winning goal six minutes later after Mert Muldur's own goal. Earlier in the evening, England defeated Switzerland to book their place in the last four of this competition. This match ended 1-1 after extra time, with the Three Lions once again failing to impress on the big stage. Breel Embolo put Switzerland in front in the 75th minute before Arsenal's Bukayo Sake levelled 5 minutes later with a beautiful strike. Southgate must get his big guns firing with big matches coming up.

Netherlands - England: Form Analysis
It hasn't been a smooth sailing for Holland. They finished third in Group D and are hardly fancied to win the championship. They picked up one win and a single draw in the group stages. However, they bounced back in the Round of 16 after punishing Romania 3-0. From the look of things, the Oranges are kicking into gear at the right time, although they must be more clinical in front of goal. They have scored 8 goals at the 2024 Euros, an average of 1.6 goals per match. While at it, they have conceded 5 goals. In the last 41 games, the Netherlands have scored 103 goals while conceding 39.
England is among the tournament's favorites, and there is pressure on them to win. However, they have struggled to impress with two draws and a narrow 1-0 win against Serbia in the group stage. The Three Lions also needed a 95th-minute strike from Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham to defeat Slovakia 2-1 in the knockout stages. With top talent in their ranks, England fans may not fancy another gut-wrenching experience in the semis. They have scored 5 goals (one goal per match) while conceding 4 in this competition. The semifinal game in Dortmund should provide England with their first 'proper game' at the Euros.

Netherlands & England Squad Analysis
Ronald Koeman has maintained the same starting 11 in the last two matches. The former Barcelona manager has used a relatively fluid 4-2-3-1 formation with Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo leading the attack. Steven Bergwijn has been preferred on the right wing, although he could make way for Jeremie Frimpong or Donyell Malen in the semis. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk will command the defense alongside Inter's Stefan de Vrij. Man City's Nathan Ake will continue at left back to make a solid backline for the Orange. Overall, Koeman has no injury or suspension worries heading to the semis.
England, on the other hand, has an abundance of squad talent that has failed to reach its full potential at the Euros. Players like Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden are coming off impressive league campaigns for their clubs. However, goals have been hard to get for the Three Lions. This has led a section of their fans to call for Southgate to drop Bayern Munich's Harry Kane after some quiet displays. Crystal Palace defender Mark Guehi will be available for selection after serving his one-match ban, while Man United's Luke Shaw could make his first start on Wednesday.
Netherlands - England Key Points
- England has won just once in the previous nine meetings with the Dutch.
- The Orange won 3-1 when they last played England in the 2019 Nations League.
- Only one of England's five Euro games has hit over 2.5 goals at full-time.
- Holland and their opponents have hit over 2.5 goals in four Euro matches.

Our Netherlands vs England Prediction
This will be a nail-biting game between two inconsistent sides. It will be interesting to see how England performs against their first real challenge at this tournament. The Netherlands has been somewhat slow and shaky in defense and has lacked midfield control. England can use this to score a couple of goals from their sharp midfield led by Bellingham. However, Harry Kane must quickly find his scoring touch to help his compatriots get past the Dutch, who are finding form at the right time. We don't expect a goal-laden matchup on Wednesday. Our prediction for the Netherlands vs England: Under 2.5 goals.
Netherlands vs England - Other Interesting Picks
Harry Kane to score
Harry Kane is currently going through a goal drought. He is England's leading all-time goal scorer with 65 goals from 95 appearances. The Bayern Munich striker has failed to impress as expected, although he scored the winning goal against Slovakia. We're backing him to bounce back and score any moment on Wednesday.
