The Netherlands will play Serbia in the match of the 3rd round of the group stage of Euro 2022. Will the Serbs be able to score the first points?
Holland
In the second round of the group stage, the Netherlands suffered a major defeat against Portugal, conceding four goals with one scored. In principle, such a result was predictable, since the level of teams is significantly different. However, this misfire did not upset the "orange" much, because in the first round they sensationally beat Ukraine (3-2), so Victoria in the reporting confrontation over modest Serbia will allow them to reach the playoffs.
Serbia
Serbia approaches the match of the third round with zero points, which means that there is practically no chance of getting out of the group. Only a major victory over the Netherlands and a crushing defeat of Ukraine by Portugal will allow the Serbs to finish in second position in Group A, but the probability of such a result is negligible. Serbia opened the tournament with a 2-4 defeat against Portugal, and then turned out to be weaker than Ukraine - 1-6.
Statistics and figures:
- The Netherlands has three points after two rounds;
- Serbia lost in both matches;
- Serbia has not lost to the Netherlands yet: 3 wins and 2 draws.
Forecast
Serbia has almost said goodbye to the European Championship-2022, and the Netherlands is still in the fight for the playoffs, and in order to achieve the desired result, you need to beat the Serbs. If we managed to cope with Ukraine, then why not defeat the less formidable Serbia.
