Reason for Netherlands vs Ukraine Predictions
This match will be hosted at the Amsterdam Arena, so the Dutch will have the advantage of playing on home soil, not just this, but each of their three group stages matches. However, the Netherlands isn’t as high flying this time as they were 12 months ago. They saw their coach, Ronald Koeman, depart for Barcelona, and key man Virgil van Dijk goes down with an injury but will still look to impact their return to the big stage. The Dutch go to this game unbeaten in their last four matches, winning three, while they’ve scored two goals or more in each of their previous seven games. They are also unbeaten in their last five games on home soil, with three wins in there and in the process scoring ten goals. Their main man in attack, Memphis Depay, has benefitted from the postponement of this competition, as he struggled with injury last year. Memphis Depay enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and his most significant strength is speed. He plays excellently in Lyon. Marten de Roon is tall, plays great in both directions, does not allow opponents to play much in the middle of the field.
Ukraine will present very tricky opponents for the Dutch, and having won both their warm-up matches and clean sheets, and the Ukrainians go here high in confidence. They beat Northern Ireland 1-0 before seeing off Cyprus 4-0, to stretch their unbeaten run to six matches, though the earlier four were all draws, one of them in Paris, against world champions France. While they hold a six-game unbeaten run, Ukraine hasn’t won a lot of their recent matches. In their last 13 games, they have three wins, and only once in that run have they scored more than one goal. They have three clean sheets only in their last 15 matches. Playing away from home isn’t Ukraine’s strong point, and though this comes in a tournament setting, facing the Dutch in Amsterdam will feel like an away game. Andriy Yarmolenko is a true leader in the club and the national team. Roman Yaremchuk is experienced, he is doing great in the penalty area, and he means a lot to the national team.
Conclusion
The Netherlands is the favorite in this match, and Frank de Boer has found a recipe for victories.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. We hope that football fans will enjoy this match.
