Int'nl Friendly: Netherland x Canada, Match Preview, Team News, Odds and Predictions(06/06/2024)

When the Netherlands and Canada play each other in a much-awaited friendly match, De Kuip stadium will be full. Although the Netherlands lost to Germany in their most recent warm-up game, they are the favourites to defeat Canada in Rotterdam. Unexpectedly left out of the Netherlands EURO 2024 team is left-back Ian Maatsen of Borussia Dortmund; Daley Blind and Georginio Wijnaldum have kept their places. Injury sidelined Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

Conversely, the Canucks will still depend on Alphonso Davies, a winger for Bayern Munich. Still, considering the number of elite players in the Dutch squad, a home victory is possible. Jonathan David, Stephen Eustaquio, Cyle Larin, and Junior Hoilett were also selected for the visiting team. The Netherlands and Canada have never previously played each other on the international scene, so it should be mentioned.

Netherlands x Canada Team News

Frenkie de Jong's ankle injury causes complications for the Netherlands. The midfielder for Barca discussed the injury a few days back. He declared his readiness to take a chance playing at EURO. Still, we shouldn't anticipate him playing in the friendly against Canada on Thursday. Donyell Malen may also not participate on Thursdays since he was featured in the Champions League final for Borussia Dortmund over the weekend.

Though they are still far from a strong squad, Canada is progressing. There are two global stars there: Jonathan David and Alphonso Davis. Players with significant M.L.S. or European football responsibilities comprise the remainder of the squad. Still, Canada will be one of the most intriguing teams in the following years.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Although the Netherlands is not one of the top teams in Europe, they approach every competition determined to duplicate their 1988 triumph in the European championship in Germany. Up to their most recent game, when they lost 2-1 away in a friendly against Germany, Koeman's squad had won four straight games. Now, the Netherlands will want to build their confidence by winning two friendly matches before the EURO (they also face Iceland).

Presently, Canada is among the teams developing the quickest. They participated in the last World Cup and will now compete at Copa America for the first time. Canada has won two of the previous five games. They defeated Trinidad & Tobago by 2-0 in the last encounter. 

Our Predictions

Over 2.5 goals @1.40 on Sky247.ng

Over their past three games, the Netherlands have scored eleven goals. And every one of the three games ended with more goals than 2.5. Conversely, three out of the past four games saw Canada score more than 2.5 goals. Three goals should be expected from the next friendly between Canada and the Netherlands.
