Sure Prediction For Today, Thursday 6th June 2019

Both teams are also in the midst of a promising upward trajectory. Netherlands have drastically improved since their failure to qualify for Russia 2018, and with their squad containing the likes of Matthijs de Ligt, Nathan Ake, Donny van de Beek, Frankie de Jong, and Steven Bergwijn the future is certainly looking bright.

England’s World Cup run under Gareth Southgate brought the nation to a standstill last summer, and like their opponents, they also have a wealth of talent at their disposal. Jordan Pickford, John Stones, Joe Gomez, Ben Chilwell, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Eric Dier, Declan Rice, Ross Barkley, Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford are all 25 or under and have some very promising international careers ahead of them.

The Three Lions haven’t slowed down since the World Cup either. They have won six of their eight matches since then and lost just once, scoring an impressive 20 goals and even beating Spain 3-2 away from home and getting revenge over Croatia at Wembley.

Netherlands have a more modest recent record, although have had to face some very tough opponents. They have won four, drawn two, and lost two of their last eight games, which includes a trio of matches against Germany and two clashes with France.

One thing that doesn’t look particularly good for either team is their back line. Holland has conceded in seven of their last 10 matches and has shipped five goals in their two recent meetings with Germany. England, meanwhile, has conceded in 10 of their last 15 games over the past year or so.

The Champions League Final could have a massive impact here too. Netherlands’ duo Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum are both expected to take part in the final and will travel to Portugal as a tired pair, while England has as many as seven players in the squad who could take part in Saturday’s proceedings, including star striker Harry Kane.

However, both sides have attacking talent in spades. The likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Callum Wilson and Raheem Sterling are all more than capable of deputizing for Kane, while Holland stars Steven Bergwijn, Memphis Depay, Frankie de Jong, and Donny van de Beek will all be well rested. All things considered, we think backing Both Teams to Score is a great option here, our prediction is a +2 goals handicap for Netherlands.
