team not found v team not found Betting Tips [25 June 2024]

The Netherlands and Austria will battle it out in their final Group D game at Euro 2024, with all to play for. The two nations are one point apart; the Netherlands topping the pool while Austria are third. France sits between them and eliminated Poland are bottom. The Netherlands have dominated this encounter in recent years, winning each of their last seven meetings. Their most recent meeting was at Euro 2020, when the Dutch won 2-0 with goals from Memphis Depay and Denzel Dumfries. For the second straight Euros, they meet, with Netherlands still up there as the favorites. A four-game unbeaten run will definitely ignite their confidence against this revitalized Austria side. Their three-game winning run was only cut short by France in their last game. There too, it took the VAR intervention to controversially rule out Xavi Simons’ goal. That call meant the Netherlands failed to score for the first time in 15 matches.

Austria came into this tournament as one of the sides in good form and honestly, they haven't disappointed. An own goal saw them open with a 1-0 loss to France but they responded well in the second game. Goals from Gernot Trauner, Christoph Baumgartner and Marko Arnautovic secured a comfortable 3-1 win over Poland. That was their 13th win in 18 matches and Austria will be keen on extending this run. That they’ve struggled against the Dutch lately isn’t a secret, and that should motivate them to go for three points. A win here could see Austria finish as group winners, but what’s for sure is that it will guarantee advancing to the knockouts. With just three wins in their European Championship history, Austria will be desperate for an improvement. In their current form, they should feel this is the right moment to better their European Championship run.

There is a high chance both these nations will progress from Group D. One thing we are sure of is that both will come out battling here, in the search for three points. The two have been on good scoring runs, a trend that we will back to continue here. Their fine scoring runs have yielded high-scoring matches and this may not be any different. Our prediction for the Netherlands v Austria is for the game to produce over 2.5 goals.
