The Netherlands impressed at times during their opening match. Frank de Boer’s men secured a 3-2 win against Ukraine despite almost throwing it away. Georginio Wijnaldum and Wout Weghorst scored to put them 2-0 up before Ukraine levelled it. Denzel Dumfries scored a late winner for the Dutch.

Austria’s match followed a similar pattern. They took the lead against North Macedonia through Stefan Lainer but were pegged back. Goals from Michael Gregoritsch and Marko Arnautovic secured a 3-1 win for them.

There were some high-scoring matches in Group C. The average for the two matches was 4.50, the highest of any group’s matchday 1 fixtures. Goals are the norm when these two nations meet. There were 30 goals scored in the seven most recent meetings between the Netherlands and Austria.

If the goals start going in then the Dutch forward Memphis Depay will aim for a place on the scoresheet. He has been directly involved in 48 goals in his 65 appearances for his country. That’s 21 more than any other player since his debut in October 2013.

This match may decide the champions of Group B. A win for either side should secure qualification to the knockout stage of the competition. Draw and the Netherlands have a slight advantage. They face North Macedonia in their final match, the easier fixture on paper.

But their focus will be on this match. Oranje are 1.53 to secure the three points and to take a commanding lead in Group C. It’s 4.33 for a draw and 6.00 for Austria to pull off a surprise win.
