A thrilling Euro 2024 semifinal is scheduled in Dortmund on Wednesday where England will face off against the Netherlands for a chance to reach the final.
England adopted a back three formation against Switzerland in the quarterfinals and managed to level the score thanks to a brilliant effort from Bukayo Saka. They secured victory in a penalty shootout after Jordan Pickford denied Manuel Akanji’s shot.
Despite not performing at their peak, England’s success in Germany has been attributed to their determination and top-notch players delivering in crucial situations.
After a nervy performance in the group stage, including two uninspiring draws and a hard-fought win, England needed a last-minute Jude Bellingham goal in the match against Slovakia to avoid a major upset before overcoming Switzerland in the quarterfinals.
The Netherlands’ journey to the semifinals matched the drama, finishing third in Group D after a loss to Austria. They defeated Romania comfortably in the Round of 16 but had to come from behind to beat Turkey in a hard-fought encounter.

England experimented with a three-man defense in the Switzerland match, with Luke Shaw making a return from injury. It is likely that he will replace Kieran Trippier to provide balance on the left side.
Harry Kane, who picked up an injury during extra time, is expected to recover in time to feature in the starting lineup. Marc Guehi will return from suspension and could partner with John Stones, although Ezri Konsa put in a solid performance in Guehi’s absence.

Predicted Netherlands Lineup for the Match
For the upcoming match, Ronald Koeman may introduce some changes to the Netherlands starting lineup. Steven Bergwijn, who has been lackluster on the right wing, might be replaced by Donyell Malen or Jeremie Frimpong. Xavi Simons, memphis Depay, and Cody Gakpo are key players in a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation. Super-sub Wout Weghorst could come off the bench if needed. In defense, Stefan de Vrij and Virgil van Dijk will anchor the backline, with Nathan Ake likely to stay at left-back and Denzel Dumfries providing an attacking option on the right.
Predicted Netherlands lineup (4-3-3): Verbruggen (GK) — Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake — Schouten, Simons, Reijnders — Malen, Depay, Gakpo.

England vs. Netherlands Match Prediction
- Score prediction: England 2-1 Netherlands
The match between England and the Netherlands is expected to be closely contested. England holds an edge in talent and experience, as highlighted by Southgate. While England excels defensively, they face challenges in converting scoring opportunities and are susceptible to counter-attacks. On the other hand, the Dutch defense may struggle at times, lacking midfield control and efficiency in front of goal. However, their strengths lie in delivering dangerous crosses, quick passing, and powerful shots.
This encounter is likely to be a tense battle, with England’s experience likely giving them an upper hand. Nonetheless, it is anticipated to be an intense and exciting match.
