Match details

Netherlands vs Czech Republic

Euro 2020

Ferenc Puskas Arena

27^th June, 9:30 PM

Preview

Both the Czech Republic and the Netherlands will look to exceed all expectations and reach the quarter-finals when they face each other at the Ferenc Puskas Arena tonight.

Having played all of their group games at the Amsterdam Arena, Netherlands will travel out of their home city for the first time. This could be a disadvantage for them but on the contrary, they are one of the in-form sides in the tournament. In fact, they are the current top-scorers of Euro 2020 with 8 goals.

The Czech Republic, on the other hand, qualified for the knockout stages as one of the 4 best 3^rd placed teams in the group stages. However, they were top heading into the final gameweek clash against England, but their loss and Croatia’s massive win meant that they finished below Croatia and England.

The Netherlands should be favorites on the basis of their squad quality.

Match Prediction: Netherlands 2-1 Czech Republic.

Unavailable: No injuries for both teams.

Probable playing XI

Netherlands: Stekelenburg, De Vrij, Blind, De Ligt, Van Aanholt, De Jong, De Roon, Dumfries, Wijnaldum, Depay, Malen.
