Netherlands vs. England Prediction on July 10, 2024

Match info

On Wednesday, July 10, at 9 p.m. local time, the Netherlands national team and England will square off in the semi-finals of the men’s 2024 UEFA European Football Championship at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany. Despite having a weak start to the summer tournament, the “Three Lions” are predicted by the best sports betting sites in Europe to secure their place in the championship game.

Meeting statistics

The current form of the Netherlands

On Wednesday, “Oranje” – or “Orange” in English – will try to win against a team that has had a number of disappointing displays (not results, though) in this Euro. Having won two “MOTM” recognitions, Cody Gakpo is currently vying for this summer’s Golden Boot. The Netherlands secured a spot in the semi-finals for the first time in two decades. Denzel Dumfries and Donyell Malen avoided receiving a yellow card in their most recent Euro match against Turkey, thus they’ll both be ready for this important semifinal match. On Wednesday night, Gakpo, who has been Ronald Koeman’s team’s top player by a wide margin, will lead the attacking line.

With three goals to his credit and a strong showing for the Netherlands in Germany, Gakpo, the attacker for Liverpool, is presently in contention for the leading goalscorer statue at the 2024 European Championship. As we mentioned before, he has been playing fantastically for “Oranje” and has won two “Man of the Match” honors in this competition. Gakpo, who’s playing in his usual left-wing position in this continental competition, presents a strong argument to end up as the player with most goals.

The current form of England

After defeating a resolute Switzerland on penalties, England advanced to the semi-finals for the third time in the competition’s history. The fans are disappointed with the “Three Lions” performance, and a large portion of their resentment is aimed at head coach Gareth Southgate.

In England’s match against Switzerland, Luke Shaw was put on the bench by Southgate. Also, Kieran Trippier was substituted in the second half. Jude Bellingham will have a secured “No. 10” position in the starting XI, while Kobbie Mainoo and Declan Rice share the center of midfield after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s lackluster performance in his first few games. In this match, defender Marc Guéhi, who was absent due to suspension against the Swiss side, will be back in the lineup.

Bellingham is England’s most important player. The Real Madrid striker has been the finest performer for the country in this tournament. He equalized the score in stoppage time during the “Three Lions” round of 16 match against Slovakia. Bellingham, who scored 23 goals for “Los Blancos“ in all competitions, was a key player in helping Real Madrid win the La Liga and Champions League titles the previous season. Despite England’s lackluster performance in the summer tournament, he remains one of the most impressive players at Euro 2024.

Head-to-head

In the 34 previous meetings between the two teams, England has won 14 and lost 10. Ten more games resulted in draws. Concerning the last five head-to-heads, the Netherlands won three and lost one, while one encounter ended in a draw.

Match analytics

The Netherlands national team recently defeated Turkey 2-1 in its quarterfinal Euro 2024 match. Despite having trouble in the group stages, they made an amazing run to the quarterfinals. They’ve been among the tournament’s top-performing sides, improving their knockout stage result in comparison to the last Euro. Conversely, the English national team is fresh off a quarter-final victory over Switzerland via penalties. They haven’t yet put forth a strong performance in this competition. They were one of the biggest underachievers (considering the quality and class they possess) in this competition, and their path to the knockout stages was anything but easy. Ronald Koeman’s team has been almost superb in this summer’s tournament, and England will find it difficult to overcome it.

Our final verdict: Match Winner – Netherlands, with odds of 3.31 at weiss.bet.
