England vs Netherlands Prediction: Toothless Three Lions to make way into Euro Cup Finals against Dutch

This is England’s fourth appearance in the European Championship semi-finals. They were eliminated in 1968 and 1996 but reached the final in Euro 2020

England has had a rocky journey through Euro 2024, but they’ve made it to another semi-final. They’ll face the Netherlands on Wednesday at Dortmund’s famous Westfalenstadion. Ahead of the England vs Netherlands Euro Cup semifinals, let us take a look at the prediction.

England vs Netherlands Prediction

Despite being favourites in previous matches, the Opta supercomputer gives England a 37.8% chance of victory in this game, while the Netherlands has a 31.6% chance, with a 30.6% probability of the match going to penalties.

England hasn’t shown their best form and looked tired against Switzerland, but they still have incredible talent with players like Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, and Bukayo Saka. On the other hand, the Netherlands has had moments of brilliance in Euro 2024, even without two key midfielders. Cody Gakpo is the tournament’s top goalscorer, and they have a strong defence. We at Insidesport.IN predict a close 1-0 win for England.

England Form in Euro 2024

This is England’s fourth appearance in the European Championship semi-finals. They were eliminated in 1968 and 1996 but reached the final in Euro 2020 after beating Denmark 2-1, only to lose to Italy on penalties.

England’s path to the semi-finals has been dramatic. They won a tense penalty shootout against Switzerland after a 1-1 draw in extra time. Their group stage performance was unconvincing, but knockout football is all about results. England has scored five times from just 4.36 expected goals (xG).

Netherlands form in Euro 2024

For the Netherlands, this will be their sixth semi-final at the Euros. They’ve lost their last four, with their only win in 1988. This is their first Euros semi-final since 2004, a shorter tournament with only 16 teams.

Ronald Koeman’s team was unconvincing in the group stage but found form in the knockout rounds. They came from behind to beat Turkey 2-1, scoring twice in six minutes.

The Dutch have scored nine goals in five matches, with only Germany and Spain scoring more. Their 8.12 expected goals rank fourth in the competition.

England vs Netherlands Predicted XI

England Predicted XI:

Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier; Bellingham, Foden; Kane

Netherlands Predicted XI:
