Preview
Netherlands face Ukraine in Amsterdam on Monday as open their UEFA Euro 2020 campaign.
The Oranje faced hurdles on their path as they saw the withdrawal of Jasper Cillessen and Donny Van de Beek from the squad due to Covid-19 and injury respectively.
However, De Boer’s side head into the tournament with confidence against a draw against Scotland 2-2 and a comfortable 3-0 win against Georgia.
Memphis Depay remains their lead goal-scorer as he scored thrice in their last 2 matches and brings in form from his domestic season with Lyon.
Netherlands have won four of their last 6 matches and would look to start their campaign on a winning note.
Ukraine, on the other hand are one of the dark-horses of the tournament as they pose a squad of talented players.
The likes of Zinchenko, Zubkov, Yaremchuk lead the line with their attacking quality.
A sturdy defence holds the key to their success and a match up against the Oranje is the best way to challenge themselves.
The Ukrainians head into this one with wins against Northern Ireland and Cyprus in their warm-up fixtures.
They are a confident side looking to make a statement as they visit Netherlands.
Zinchenko and Co has never beaten Netherlands before and aim to get that money off their back come Match 7.
