Netherlands National Football Team

Austria are underdogs in this match against Ronald Koeman’s side but will hope to avoid an embarrassment against them. Meanwhile, Ronald Koeman may secure their top two status and one of two excellent third-place finishes at this tournament.

The Netherlands open the match aggressively and are quick to get the ball down quickly before pressing forward in search of a breakthrough against an entrenched Austrian defence. Pressure rises rapidly during their attempt at breaking it down.

Before the half hour mark, Memphis Depay sets Marko Arnautovic up but his shot from close range misses its target and goes wide – it would have made for an eye-catching goal!

At halftime, both teams appear tired but it is evident that the Netherlands want to avoid defeat and play for pride.

Both teams begin the second half with both sides exchanging possession, but the Dutch fail to capitalize on their strong start. A long punt from Florian Grillitsch allowed plenty of time for Stefan Posch on the right touchline, prompting a visibly annoyed Virgil van Dijk to order Tijani Reijnders and Jerdy Schouten out of its path and get their hands off his long throw-in.

The Netherlands have made an excellent start to the second half, as Xavi Simons finds Cody Gakpo in space on the right wing. Manchester City midfielder Gakpo then dribbled into the box before being tackled just before taking aim and shooting.

Dutch free-kick in a good position awarded to Depay who hits it straight against the wall. Meanwhile, hosts press further upfield with Weghorst finding himself at the receiving end of an excellent cross from Bart Verbruggen which finds Weghorst but his header easily saved by Bart Verbruggen. Within one minute however they receive another set-piece courtesy of Xavi who finds Gakpo on the edge of the area but Manchester City forward scuffs his shot wide before conceding another corner after Nathan Ake fouls Pentz.

Austria National Football Team

Austria stood firm against more illustrious opponents and secured an important win that sent them through to the last 16 at Euro 2024. Ralf Rangnick’s squad may have been considered underdogs going into the tournament, yet their performance so far – including an inspiring win over France during group stage play – have made them serious contenders for one of four spots available in knockout rounds.

Donyell Malen scored an early own goal to give Netherlands hope, but two minutes after halftime Xavi Simons set Cody Gakpo free to score an equalizer and restore Austrian control. Romano Schmid headed Austria ahead again before Memphis Depay had his goal disallowed due to offside, holding onto win.

Ronald Koeman rallied his Netherlands side at halftime by substituting Simons for Veerman. Simons seemed to bring new energy into their attack, with several chances arising such as Depay’s strike being blocked off and another clear off the line.

At the other end, Simons’ precise pass allowed Gakpo to run through and score an outstanding goal – his fifth at major tournaments! Subsequently, Austria began exerting themselves and forcing Dutch errors as they advanced forward.

Sabitzer’s perfectly placed shot from an acute angle sealed the win for Germany in Berlin. Even if they win their remaining games, even with all three victories remaining for them to secure top spot, the Dutch will finish fourth overall based on goal difference and goals scored (if necessary to decide tiebreaker between top two ties; in case of tie-break tie between first two teams; goal difference and goals scored will decide the tie). Once qualified for playoffs the top four teams will face either Turkey, Georgia or Czech Republic as second placed team while bottom three teams exit.

Group C

Ralf Rangnick’s Austria showed the world they can be taken seriously at Euro 2024 after their stunning 3-2 win over Netherlands. Pre-tournament dark horses Austria had looked in danger of being overshadowed by Dutch, only for Marcel Sabitzer to rescue them with an late strike that secured top two finish in Group C. Netherlands had twice come from behind to draw level before Austria showed no surrender and secured top-two spot with their never-say-die approach and managed to remain top two finisher for their Group.

Both teams made a number of adjustments from last week’s match against Poland. Ronald Koeman made several alterations for his Netherlands side; Memphis Depay replaced Jeremie Frimpong. Left-back Stefan de Vrij was preferred over Virgil van Dijk while Tijani Reijnders and Jerdy Schouten joined the midfield. Austria switched out Phillipp Mwene for Alexander Prass and Maximilian Wober respectively in their starting XI.

As Austria continued their swift counterattack, the Netherlands almost broke through at the start of the second half. A pass by Xavi Simons to Cody Gakpo presented them with an opportunity, but Manchester City star Cody Gakpo could not take advantage. They were then caught off-guard by Romano Schmid’s cross that appeared destined for Florian Grillitsch but he failed to catch it and Austria took control.

Austria then narrowly missed having their goal disallowed for offside, as Christoph Baumgartner raced clear down the right flank and delivered an exquisite cross for Sabitzer who patiently waited for Weghorst to attempt a slide challenge before unleashing a powerful effort past Henri Verbruggen.

Some minutes later, Austria had another opportunity to score when Baumgartner tried his luck from distance; his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper however and an exciting encounter came to a close as both teams were left stunned by its outcome.

The Netherlands are set to go into the knockout stages as one of the top third-place teams, level on points with France but with an improved goal difference. Austria will likely follow as top two finisher and may face England in round 16. Both sides still have an opportunity of qualifying for last-16 round, and a victory would likely guarantee their place there.

Predictions

After drawing goalless with France, Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman hopes his side can kick-start their Euro 2024 campaign against Austria at Olympiastadion Berlin. However, Ralf Rangnick’s Austria are an accomplished side and could come away victorious against Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands side at the Olympiastadion Berlin.

The Netherlands began their time in Germany by defeating Turkey 1-0 before drawing with host Germany 0-0. Even despite an inauspicious start, however, they still stand an excellent chance at making it into the last 16 of competition; both teams currently are tied on points with four goals scored each.

As only two matches remain, the Dutch need to defeat Austria and hope that France loses against Poland to make the cut for the top two positions. They could potentially face one of Group C’s runner-ups (currently Belgium) in the last 16 stage.

There are multiple factors that could contribute to a decisive matchup in this contest between Netherlands and Austria. Both teams boast strong attacks that can score goals while both possess solid defensive lines as well as talented midfielders, providing their respective sides a great chance at scoring goals in this matchup. The Netherlands and Austria both possess good chances at scoring.

Virgil van Dijk earns a free-kick wide on the right and sends it over the bar, followed by Memphis Depay shooting from close range before having his effort blocked by Austria’s defense. While Netherlands are enjoying more possession, their efforts at breaking through are being met with resistance by Austria.

The Austrians have managed to keep their shape well and are not conceding too many spaces in their attacking half, yet have failed to create any clear-cut chances yet. Meanwhile, Dutch possession waste continues in the final third.

Cody Gakpo had an opportunity to score first for the Dutch, yet his shot sailed wide of goal. They’re getting back into it now but must be more clinical when shooting on goal.

Austria defender Leopold Querfeld has sustained an injury and will not return to play, which will make hosting even harder for the Dutch side. They must avoid mistakes in the latter stages of the match to secure a memorable win for themselves.
