Netherlands
The Netherlands is looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Germany in their last friendly match. Joey Veerman scored early for the Netherlands in the 4th minute, but Germany responded with goals from Maximilian Mittelstädt in the 11th minute and Niklas Füllkrug in the 85th minute.
Recent performances indicate a strong defensive effort from the Netherlands, with only 4 goals conceded across their last six matches.
Canada
Canada is also coming off a defeat, having lost 4-1 to Japan in their previous friendly. In that game, Alphonso Davies scored an own goal at the 40th minute, and Junior Hoilett scored for Canada at the 89th minute. Japan’s goals came from Ao Tanaka (2′, 49′) and Keito Nakamura (42′).
Canada has shown attacking prowess with 10 goals in their last six matches, but their defense has been less solid, conceding goals in five of those games. It remains to be seen if they can tighten their defense in the upcoming match.
We predict that Canada will likely score against the Netherlands, but it may not be enough to secure a win. The match is expected to be closely contested, with a predicted final score of 2-1 in favor of the Netherlands.
