A spot in the EURO 2024 final is up for grabs as the Netherlands and England face off at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday evening. The Netherlands secured their semi-final spot by coming from behind to beat Turkey 2-1 in the quarter-finals, with Liverpool star Cody Gakpo playing a key role in their victory. Ronald Koeman is expected to stick with the same starting XI that played against Turkey, assuming there are no new injury concerns.
England, on the other hand, reached the semi-finals by defeating Switzerland on penalties after another lackluster performance. Considering England’s strong defensive record, betting on under 2.5 goals seems wise. Luke Shaw is pushing for a starting spot, as is Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guehi, who is back from suspension. In their last encounter at the European Championship finals in 1996, England defeated the Netherlands 4-1, but this match is expected to be a low-scoring affair.
Prediction: 0-0
