On June 27, the match of the 1/8 final of the 2020 European Football Championship between the national teams of the Netherlands and the Czech Republic will take place. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
Holland
Fans and experts were as skeptical as possible about the Dutch. "Orange" has not participated in major competitions for a long time, plus Frank de Boer is not impressive as a head coach yet. However, the Netherlands passed the group stage as calmly as possible, and now their chances are quoted much higher. The match with the Czech Republic is likely to resemble a duel against the Austrians, where the Netherlands immediately went on the attack.
Czech
The Czech national team leaves a pleasant impression at Euro 2020. She took the third place, although before the game with the British she claimed the first. Patrick Schick is one of the discoveries of the current championship of the continent. It is with him that the Czech fans pin the greatest hopes in the match against the Dutch national team. But it will be difficult to achieve victory here. There is a high probability that the Czech national team will choose the most closed tactics for this meeting.
Statistics and figures:
- The Netherlands has won four matches in a row;
- The Czech Republic has two wins in the last seven games;
- The Czech national team won the last two matches against the Netherlands with a score of 2-1 and 3-2. This was in 2014 and 2015 as part of the selection for Euro 2016, where the "orange" did not get safely.
Forecast:
The Dutch national team looked quite confident at the group stage. Only in the match against Ukraine, the wards allowed themselves to relax a little. The Czech Republic is a strong opponent, but the first fifteen minutes of the game against England showed that with serious attacking pressure, it can crumble. We believe that the Netherlands will not delay until overtime and will solve the issue of reaching the quarterfinals in regular time.
