Netherlands - England. Predicted line-ups and latest news, – July 10, 2024

On 9 July, the Spanish national team became the first finalist of the European Championship. But who will join it in the match for the Henri Delaunay Cup - we will find out today in the second semi-final game between the Netherlands and England.

Ronald Koeman's wards are the only ones who decided the fate of their quarter-final match in regulation time. The Netherlands had 90 minutes to beat Turkey 2-1. Gareth Southgate's team, on the other hand, reached the semi-finals only thanks to Manuel Akandji's inaccurate penalty shootout against Switzerland.

Speaking of personnel issues, the main return for the Three Lions is Luke Shaw, who missed the opening four matches of the tournament due to injury, but appeared in the quarter-final on 78 minutes.

After the game against Switzerland, the Manchester United defender said that he was ready to come on the pitch from the first minute, but it is unlikely that Southgate will do so, so we can assume that the place on the left flank of the England defence will henceforth be occupied by Kieran Trippier or Bukayo Saka.

Marc Guehi, who impressed at the start of the tournament, will now have to battle with Ezri Konsa for a place in the centre of defence after his suspension, although it remains to be seen whether it will be a three- or four-back formation, or a hybrid of both.

Koeman, on the other hand, has an important choice to make in the offensive line as Vaut Weghorst managed to turn the game against Turkey around after coming on in the second half. Memphis Depay's place in attack was considered immovable at the start of the tournament, but now he will have to fight for a place in the starting line-up with Cody Gakpo.

The Oranje manager is not expected to make many changes from the Turkey game, although it is possible that Steven Bergwijn, who left the field at half-time in the previous two play-off matches, will remain on the bench. He could be replaced by Donyell Malen.

In the main, however, no substitutions are foreseen: Virgil van Dijk, Xavi Simons, Jerdy Schouten and Tijiani Reynders can all count on a place in the Netherlands starting line-up.
