Following their elimination in the Euro 2024 semi-finals against England, the Dutch are set to kick off their campaign in the Nations League. In the previous edition, they were beaten by Croatia in a thrilling 4-2 match. Now grouped with Germany, Bosnia, and Hungary, Ronald Koeman’s side has a solid chance to claim first place in the group.
The Netherlands could have gone further at Euro 2024 had it not been for a last-minute winner from Ollie Watkins. However, their overall group stage performance lacked conviction, leaving room for improvement.
Looking ahead, Koeman will likely place his trust in Joshua Zirkzee and Ryan Gravenberch. Under Arne Slot’s guidance at Liverpool, Gravenberch has shown significant development and is expected to play a key role in the Dutch lineup.
Bosnia has displayed a lacklustre performance in recent years, with their performances a far cry from those of the team that competed in the 2014 World Cup. The team is in a major decline, compounded by a six-match losing streak.
Bosnia & Herzegovina are the clear underdogs in their Nations League group. They will aim to improve upon their disappointing 2020/21 campaign, where they managed just two points from six matches.
A glimmer of hope comes with the return of legendary captain Edin Džeko. The Fenerbahçe striker netted seven of Bosnia’s 16 goals in the Nations League and will lead the attack once again. Supporting him will be Ermedin Demirović, who could pose a threat to the Dutch defense. After a successful stint at Augsburg, he moved to Stuttgart, scoring against Freiburg in the first round of the Bundesliga.
Bet hereThe Netherlands approach the start of the new UEFA Nations League campaign in high spirits, as reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2024 can be considered a positive result for Ronald Koeman’s side.
Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot boast such results. They have been going through a crisis, and the key players are entering the twilight of their best years. The Dragons missed two real chances to qualify for Euro 2024, are on a six-game losing streak, and the way up seems out of sight.
Die Oranje seem to be the undisputed favourites in the upcoming match. We think that they will seize the initiative from the first minute. Expect the host to win with a handicap (-2.5).
The Netherlands are one of the most entertaining attacking sides in world football. While their aggressive approach can sometimes hinder their results, Koeman’s team remains committed to their philosophy.
In their last 11 matches, the Netherlands have scored 29 goals, averaging 2.64 goals per game, while conceding 9 times (0.82 per game). These figures suggest a high-scoring potential in their upcoming clash.
With Cody Gakpo and company leading the charge, we expect the Netherlands to dominate offensively. We suggest placing a bet on over 2.5 goals.
