Netherlands Form

Netherlands exceeded expectations at Euro 2024, reaching the semi-finals where they conceded late in a 2-1 defeat against England. They thrashed Bosnia-Herzegovina 5-2 in Eindhoven to get the Nations League on track.

Oranje failed to win in their next three, starting with a 2-2 draw against Germany. Denzel Dumfries scored a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw in Hungary, the losing 1-0 in Germany where they had one shot on target.

Wout Weghorst, Cody Gakpo, Dumfries and Teun Koopmeiners scored in a 4-0 win against Hungary before a 1-1 draw at Bosnia-Herzegovina sealed second spot in Group 3.
