Today's Euro 2024 semi-final between the Netherlands and England is expected to be a tightly contested match. The Netherlands have been in good form, coming from behind to defeat Turkey in the quarter-finals, largely thanks to Cody Gakpo's performances. They typically employ a fluid 4-2-3-1 system with notable players like Memphis Depay and Xavi Simons (Evening Standard) (FreeFootPred).
England, meanwhile, have had a solid defensive record but have struggled to score consistently. Their win against Switzerland came via penalties, indicating some difficulty in breaking down defenses during regular play. Key players for England include Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, who have been critical in their progression so far (FOX Sports) (FreeFootPred).
Predictions from various sources suggest a close match, with some anticipating a low-scoring affair potentially decided by penalties. The consensus is that England's experience and defensive strength might give them a slight edge (Evening Standard) (FreeFootPred).
Overall, it looks to be a match that could go either way, with a strong likelihood of it being decided by fine margins.
