Netherlands vs Austria Prediction & Match Preview

Netherlands vs Austria Prediction

The Netherlands and Austria will come across each other in the last round of Group D on Tuesday afternoon at Olympiastadion Berlin.

The Netherlands share the top of the section with France while Austria jumped to third place after a 3-1 win over Poland four days ago.

• Netherlands scored ten goals in the last four games in all competitions.
• Four of Austria’s last five matches provided goals at both ends.
• Six of the previous eight H2H clashes between these rivals saw at least three goals scored.
• Netherlands go into this on the back of seven straight wins over Austria.

The Netherlands improved their defensive display drastically in the second round. The fact they have kept the likes of France at bay speaks volumes.

Oranje have four points from the opening two rounds. A win here could grant them the top spot in the section, depending on what France do in the other match of the group against Poland.

Austria fell 0-1 to France on the opening day but managed to bounce back with a 3-1 victory over Poland in the second round.

Midfielder Christoph Baumgartner was particularly inspired on the occasion, scoring a goal and crating loads for his team.

Netherlands vs Austria Predicted Lineups and Team News

• Neither manager has many reasons to change their starting lineup ahead of the final day fixture.
• The Netherlands should start in their 4-3-3 formation with Gakpo, Depay, and Frimpong in the final third.
• Austria should be in their standard 4-2-3-1 setup with veteran Marko Arnautovic leading the line.

Netherlands (4-3-3): Verbruggen – Dumfries, de Vrij, van Dijk, Ake – Schouten, Simons, Reijnders – Frimpong, Depay, Gakpo

Austria (4-5-1): Pentz – Posch, Trauner, Lienhart, Mwene – Seiwald, Grillitsch, Baumgartner, Laimer, Sabitzer – Arnautovic

Backing goals at both ends is the way to go

Both teams will go into this in high spirits and we see many reasons to back goals at both ends at the 1.66 odds.

The Netherlands won three and drew one of the last four outings across competitions. We’ve seen at least three goals in six of their previous seven matches.

The same scenario occurred in four of Austria’s last five affairs. The Austrians looked lethal in the final third against Poland, delivering eight shots on target and scoring three goals on the occasion.

Last but not least, six of the previous eight head-to-head meetings between these counterparts provided goals at both ends as well.

Memphis Depay is the focal point of Dutch attack

Memphis Depay is yet to score his first goal in the tournament although he has already had a lot of chances to provide in the inaugural two matches.

Since the Netherlands are still in contention for the first place in the group and an easier opponent in the last-16 round, we expect him to lead the line once again.

Depay also takes penalties and free-kicks for the Dutch team. In a match in which we expect a high-scoring affair, the value is phenomenal with the 3.20 odds offered for Dutch main attacking threat to score anytime.
