Netherlands vs Austria prediction and betting tips - June 25, 2024 by Jack Read
On June 25, Euro 2024 will please with four confrontations at once, in one of the matches the Netherlands - Austria will meet. Forecast for the match of these rivals prepared by Dailysports experts.
Netherlands
The Dutch still look ambiguous at this tournament, the team scored 4 points in two matches and leads the group, ahead of the French on additional indicators, on the other hand, there are questions about the game.
In the first match they managed to beat the Poles with difficulty - 2:1, the decisive goal was scored only at the end of the game. The real test was the second game against the French, the opponent was more active, but in the end we played 0:0. The Netherlands even scored for France, but the goal was canceled because one of the players interfered with the goalkeeper, being in the passive offside. It will be enough not to lose to qualify for the playoffs, although ideally they should play for a win to stay in first place.
Austria
For the Austrians, the tournament started with a 0-1 defeat to France, they could well have lost more, the opponent was let down by the realization. In many ways, the key was the second battle against Poland, the match was on the counter-course, but the Austrians better utilized their chances, winning with a score of 3:1.
Austria will not fall below third place, but it may not be enough to qualify for the playoffs, but 4 points will be just right, so they need at least not to lose, and ideally to win, although this scenario looks unlikely.
