Despite their struggles under relatively newly-appointed Frank de Boer, the Netherlands are still the outright favorites to win Group C. Virgil van Dijk’s absence will continue to be a huge blow to Oranje, as the stalwart center-back has been out of commission since last October when he had to have ACL surgery after a nasty tackle in a Premier League game against Everton. He’s been ruled out for Euro 2020 but is expected to be back for Liverpool next season. Regardless, the Netherlands only lost one game in their Nations League group stage, which came as a 1-0 loss to Italy back in September. Since then, they’ve only lost one across all competitions which was a rare 4-2 loss to Turkey in World Cup Qualifiers.

Netherlands might not have the same firepower upfront as they did a decade ago, but they still have the in-form Memphis Depay at the height of his power going into the Euros. The former Manchester United star is in absolutely terrorizing form, having scored 22 goals and registered 12 assists in 40 appearances for Olympique Lyon last season.

Depay has contributed towards 8 goals (6g, 2a) in his last 6 appearances for the Dutch & is THE vocal point of their attack. Ahead of a possible summer move to Barcelona, the menacing winger looks to run riot on opposition defences, score important goals & take the Netherlands all the way to the finals. In the form he is in, don’t be surprised if Depay is among the top scorers of the tournament.

Netherlands have won the Euros just once out of nine appearances, stretching all the way back to 1988 when they defeated Russia (Soviet Union) 2-0 in the final match.
