Netherlands - Austria. Predicted line-ups and latest news, – June 25, 2024

The UEFA Euro 2024 group stage ends today in quartet D, and one of the final matches will be between the Netherlands and Austria.

For Ronald Koeman's team to qualify for the play-offs, a draw will be enough, but they need to win today, and with the best possible goal difference, to secure top spot in the group.

Ralf Rangnick's side will also be satisfied with a draw, as they will not drop below third place, but a win will put the Austrians into the play-offs from at least second place. Much also depends on the parallel match between France and Poland.

Nevertheless, both teams have personnel problems after the second round. Gernot Trauner, the hero of the match against Poland, was injured in that game, and he will definitely not play against the Netherlands. Therefore, we can assume that in the centre of defence will play the duo that took the field in the match against France: Max Wober and Kevin Danso.

If we talk about the Dutch team, then only Joshua Zirkzee's participation in the match is in question, who is a little ill. Brian Brobbey has recovered, and Ronald Koeman will be able to count on him.

Replacing Jeremy Frimpong with PSV midfielder Joey Weerman was the only change Koeman made on Friday, but with his team already in the 1/8 finals, further changes will surely be considered.

Both Weerman and his club mate Jerdy Schouten are one suspension away from becoming a minor factor in team selection, potentially opening the door for Ryan Gravenberch or Georginio Wijnaldum to join Tijani Reynders.

Focusing on these facts, the Dailysports team has put together predicted line-ups for the Netherlands vs Austria match.

Netherlands predicted line-up

Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrey, Van Dijk, Ake; Reynders, Schouten; Frimpong, Simons, Gakpo; Depay.

Austria predicted line-up

Pentz; Posch, Danso, Linhart, Mwene; Seiwald, Leimer; Wimmer, Baumgartner, Sabitzer; Gregoritsch.

The match between the Netherlands and Austria will take place on 25 June at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. The starting whistle of Slovakian referee Ivan Kružljak will sound at 18:00 CET.
