Euro 2024: Netherlands vs England - Preview, Odds, Predictions

On Wednesday night, the Netherlands and England will square off at Signal Iduna Park, with a place in the EURO 2024 final on the line. 

Cody Gakpo, a star player for Liverpool, helped the Oranje come back from behind to defeat Turkey 2-1 in the quarterfinals. 

Assuming no new injury concerns exist, Ronald Koeman will stick with the same starting eleven that took on Turkey.

However, after another lackluster effort, the Three Lions prevailed against Switzerland in a penalty shootout. Anyway, betting on under 2.5 goals is good since England effectively defends. 

Crystal Palace center defender Marc Guehi returns from suspension and is competing for a starting role, along with Luke Shaw. 

A low-scoring match is likely to be played this time, despite England defeating the Netherlands 4-1 in their previous encounter in the European Championship finals in 1996. We preview our betting predictions for the Euro 2024 second semi-final match here. 

Netherlands x England Team News

Cody Gakpo, the star player for Liverpool, will once again take the lead on Wednesday night after scoring three goals in five games at EURO 24 in Germany this summer and is leading the race for the Golden Boot. 

Memphis Depay will lead the Dutch attack after confirming a summer transfer away from Atletico Madrid, a Spanish powerhouse.

Virgil van Dijk will get his 74th cap as the Netherlands' captain in Dortmund. 

Koeman will start Stefan de Vrij and Virgil van Dijk in the center of defense, and de Vrij scored for Inter Milan last weekend against Turkey.

The Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi may get a complete return today, even if he may have been benched last weekend against Turkey due to a one-match suspension. 

Manchester United's Luke Shaw, who was impressed with a substitute appearance during Saturday's match in Dusseldorf, may get his first start of the Euro 24 season.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka, who scored an incredible equalizer last week against Switzerland, will play alongside Harry Kane in the penalty area. 

German teenager Kobbie Mainoo, who has had a spectacular summer, will be squaring off against Declan Rice in the park's center.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

To get things off, the Dutch have made quite an impression in Germany this summer. Last weekend, they staged a stunning late comeback against Turkey, ultimately winning 2-1 in Berlin.

Ronald Koeman's squad has recovered well from a thrilling 3-2 setback to Austria to end their Group D campaign.

Following a sensational 3-0 victory against Romania to kick off their knockout round journey, the former Barcelona manager will look forward to Wednesday night's visit to Signal Iduna Park.

The Dutch will feel confident going into the European Championships this summer after a 4-0 home win against Iceland and some impressive play in the final third. 

The Dutch have scored twice or more in six of their last seven matches in all competitions, including a 2-1 victory against Poland on June 25.

While the Three Lions rode their luck in Germany this summer, England mounted their spectacular comeback over the weekend. 

After narrowly escaping Switzerland in a penalty shootout in Dusseldorf, Gareth Southgate's squad is now within two games of winning their first international trophy since the legendary World Cup triumph in 1966. 

England may be worried about their dismal record against Wednesday's other semi-finalists, considering they have won just twice in their last ten matches across all competitions inside 90 minutes. 

In their most recent encounter, which occurred in the summer of 2019 during Nations League play, Southgate's team suffered a 3-1 loss. In their previous nine matches, they had managed only one victory.

Our Prediction

Both teams are to score @2.03 on Sky247.ng

On Wednesday night, Dortmund will play in what might be another nail-biting match for a position in the European Championship final this summer. 

All eyes will be on Dortmund. Scores of 11 on both sides have been produced in the Netherlands' last three outings in the Euro24, but spectators in rural Germany are hoping for a surprising outcome. 

We anticipate a similar ending today since five of the last six meetings between Wednesday's semi-finalists have ended with both sides scoring.
