England vs Netherlands 1st half odds
Despite securing a spot in the next round, English football fans are not entirely satisfied with the performance of coach Gareth Southgate’s team in the previous matches. In the match against Switzerland, the Three Lions played fairly well in the first half. However, despite gaining some advantage, the English team did not actively seek goals. Instead, they frequently opted for long passes to the wings, where the experienced Swiss players Schar and Rodriguez were ready. This made it difficult for Saka and Trippier to create surprises. On the other hand, the Netherlands even allowed Turkey to score the opening goal. In that situation, both Van Dijk and De Vrij appeared too passive against Guler’s cross. They failed to dominate the space in the far post, where three Turkish players were waiting. Another issue that coach Ronald Koeman must consider is the use of young talent Xavi Simons. Despite being given regular opportunities, the effectiveness of the RB Leipzig player is almost zero. He missed many opportunities and frequently slowed down the Dutch team’s attacking rhythm when approaching the opponent’s goal. Therefore, experts are not expecting the Netherlands to score in the first half. The same goes for England, as they have had 3 consecutive matches without scoring in the first half. In this case, Under 0.75 is definitely a choice not to be missed. Prediction for England vs Netherlands odds: Choose Netherlands 0 HT, Under goals
Prediction for the full match between England and Netherlands
In recent years, the English and Dutch teams have not faced each other too often. The most recent encounter was in the 2019 Nations League. At that time, the orange-clad team achieved a hard-fought victory over the English team after 120 minutes of play. That was their 3rd victory in the last 5 encounters with England. In terms of playing style, experts still consider the Netherlands slightly better. Although they have not delivered pleasing performances to satisfy the fans, the speed and rhythm of the Dutch team are better than their opponents. Depay and his teammates always know how to gain an advantage when deciding to accelerate, helping them achieve what they need.The conservative approach in Gareth Southgate’s management style is still causing the England national team to play quite hesitantly despite having many stars in their lineup. Southgate really needs to make changes to maximize the resources he currently has.
The English coach has made some changes in the match against Switzerland. Moving Foden to his preferred position at Man City has helped him stand out. However, using two wingers with their weaker foot on the left side is still making the England team too predictable in their wing play. In addition, their midfield also needs to be refreshed if they don’t want to be outplayed by the Dutch national team.
According to experts’ analysis, the upcoming match between England and the Netherlands is expected to be a low-scoring game. Both teams’ goal-scoring form is not very impressive. This, along with the tense nature of a semi-final match, suggests that there may only be one goal scored. Fans are leaning towards another victory for the orange team against the Three Lions.
England vs Netherlands Odds: Choose Netherlands 0 FT, Under total goals for the whole match.
