The Netherlands will host Ukraine in the group stage match in the European Championship at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam on 14th June 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are favoring the Netherlands to win the match against a struggling Ukraine side.

Teams Status

Netherlands

The Dutch are coming off a decent European Championship qualification they finished in the second position of the group led by Germany. They won six matches, drew one match and lost one match in the eight matches that they played in the qualifiers. They had an exceptional performance at home as they topped the home record table with nine points in four matches, including three wins. They had the second highest number of goals this season with 24 goals, six goals behind Germany. They also conceded just seven goals in eight matches. The Sevilla striker Luuk de Jong was the team’s leading goal scorer with three goals, while Memphis Depay and Steven Berghuis chipped in with two goals each. Depay also had two assists under his belt. They look like the strongest team in the group and could top the group. But their star players need to step up in the knockouts as it won’t be as easy as this group.

Ukraine

The 24th ranked team in the FIFA world rankings are coming off a brilliant European Championship qualification. Ukraine were unbeaten in the group as they bagged 20 points from the eight matches that they played and won six matches and drew two matches. They finished three points clear on the top in the group consisting of some heavyweights like Portugal. Serbia, Luxembourg and Lithuania. They had the second-best away record as they won two and drew two matches on the road. They scored as many as 17 goals and conceded just four goals. The goal scoring list for Ukraine was led by Roman Yaremchuk with four goals. Ruslan Malinovsky and Viktor Tsygankov have three goals to their names. Malinovsky led the assists list with three assists in the qualifiers. They need the likes of Yaremchuk, Malinovsky and Yarmalenko to fire for them to have any chance of making it to the knockouts.

Tipster’s Angle

The Netherlands are in way better form than Ukraine and have a stronger squad on paper. So, the Netherlands could come out on top. Also, both team scoring could also be a feature of this fixture.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 2.20

In the last ten matches that the Netherlands played across competitions, both teams scored at least a goal in six of those matches. Also, three of the last five matches that the Netherlands played on home turf had both teams scoring in them. Ukraine on the other hand had a 50% record of both teams scoring in the last ten matches that they played across competitions. Even, both teams scored in two of the last three away matches that Ukraine played. Apart from that, both teams managed to find the back of the net in the last head to head match that these two teams played back in 2010. So, it is evident that the defense of both the teams are not that great and it is very likely that both teams will score at 2.20 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: The Netherlands To Win @ 1.64

The last head to head match that these two teams played ended in a draw, but it was played way back in 2010. The Dutch are in some exceptional form right now as they have just one loss under their belt in the last ten matches including five wins and four draws. Also, they are unbeaten at home as they have won three and drawn two matches on home turf. Ukraine on the other hand have just three wins under their belt and also drew four matches while losing three matches. Ukraine haven’t won a single match in their last four matches on the road, which includes three losses. So, it is very likely that the Netherlands will win the match at 1.64 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Conclusion

The Netherlands are looking like they could finish at the top of the table. But there could be a three way battle between Ukraine, Austria and North Macedonia for the second place in this group.
