Netherlands – Ukraine : Preview & Prediction
Netherlands and Ukraine play at Amsterdam ArenA, in a match of the Euro Cup (Group Stage). There is no recent record of direct clashes between the two teams, who have not played any matches in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 11‑08‑2010, in a match that ended with the final score: Ukraine (1‑1) Netherlands.
The team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, as it did not have to compete in any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they won against Georgia by (3‑0). In the last 10 matches Netherlands has a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. Their attack has scored regularly, as they have managed to score in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have only turned the score around in the 7 matches they have conceded the first goal. In the last 19 matches played in all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 16 of their 42 goals between minutes (76’‑90′).
The Netherlands enters this match after a 3-0 victory, against Georgia, in a preparatory game for the next official games: the team’s goals were signed by Ryan Gravenberch, Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst. It should be noted that the Dutch were not present at EURO 2016. Coach Frank de Boer usually works in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking through the side aisles. Up front will be Steven Berghuis, Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst, the first two being very fast and the last very competent in finishing. All players from the last game are available for this clash.
The team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this competition. The team comes to this match after a win against Cyprus by (4‑0). In the last 10 matches for all competitions, Ukraine has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored with regularity, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.
Ukraine enters this game with a 4-0 victory against Cyprus, in a preparatory game for the next official matches: the team’s goals were scored by Andriy Yarmolenko (2), Oleksandr Zinchenko and Roman Yaremchuk. We remember that the Ukrainians lost all the games played at EURO 2016. In this game against the Netherlands, coach Andriy Shevchenko should act in 4-3-3 with Andriy Yarmolenko, Marlos and Roman Yaremchuk the forward men of the team. It should be noted that Ukrainians have shown quality in maintaining ball possession. There are no major absences for this game.
