Netherlands – Czech Republic : Preview & Prediction
We have one of the best teams in this group stage of Euro 2020. We didn’t really know what to expect from the Netherlands in this competition. And finally, Frank de Boer’s men were able to respond from the outset in this event. For its entry into the running, the Dutch selection challenged Ukraine. And she did not do in detail to afford her first three points in this Euro 2020 (3-2). They were then able to move on against Austria (2-0), then North Macedonia (3-0), to end this group stage with three successes. The teammates of Memphis Depay therefore land in full confidence for the round of 16, after having easily composted the first place of Pool C.
For the start of this final phase, the Netherlands will meet the Czech Republic. They will logically be the favorites in this meeting. Since the start of the competition, several individuals from the Oranje have made a very strong impression. We think in particular of Denzel Dumfries, Georginio Wijnaldum or Memphis Depay. All the ingredients are therefore there for the Netherlands to go far in this Euro 2020. Especially since the Czech Republic seems largely within the reach of its opponent of the day. Present in Pool D, Jaroslav Šilhavý’s team had started very well by winning against Scotland (2-0), then hanging the draw against Croatia (1-1). However, she had a lot more trouble against England.
In this last match of the group stage, Patrik Schick’s teammates showed almost nothing. And they finally bowed to Wembley (1-0). It is therefore difficult to believe that the Czech Republic will be able to compete with a Dutch selection in full confidence. Especially since the Oranje have a real chance to play in their part of the table. By managing to take out the Czech Republic, they would then find the winner of Wales – Denmark. And there is no doubt that this is a given that matters to Frank de Boer’s players. Having a good head of outsider in this competition, they do not want to give up in a round of 16 which remains particularly affordable.
Obviously, the Netherlands will not be able to count on the support of their supporters, as was the case during the group stage. However, this meeting takes place in a stadium in Budapest, where the atmosphere is one of the craziest of this competition. Having won six of their last seven meetings in all competitions, the Dutch team have been in great shape in recent weeks. Some of their strengths, the Netherlands should be able to raise their level of play for the start of the finals of Euro 2020. We can not wait to see this selection in action for the knockout matches. And there is no doubt that she should still show a very beautiful face for this meeting against the Czech Republic.
