  • Neth V Czech
    Round 16 - NETHERLANDS v CZECH REPUBLIC BEST BET Both Teams to Score: Only one team to score ($1.92) The Dutch have solved their defensive woes from the opening game and are a good chance of holding the Czechs – with one goal in their last two – scoreless. BEST VALUE First Goalscorer: Memphis Depay – Netherlands ($4.75) Looking every bit the excitement machine, Depay has been in the thick of everything for the Netherlands in attack. FULL MATCH PREVIEW UEFA Euro 2020 Round of 16 Puskas Arena, Budapest Mon 28 Jun 2:00 Broadcaster: Optus Sport Head-to-Head: Netherlands ($1.65), Draw ($3.70), Czech Republic ($5.00) Netherlands World Ranking: 16 Czech Republic World Ranking: 40 Group C Results – Netherlands (First – 3 wins) Netherlands 3–2 Ukraine Netherlands 2–0 Austria North Macedonia 0–3 Netherlands Top Scorer: 3 – Georginio Wijnaldum Group D Results – Czech Republic (Third – 1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw) Scotland 0–2 Czech Republic Croatia 1–1 Czech Republic Czech Republic 0–1 England Top Scorer: 3 – Patrik Schick Summary: Doubts were raised about the quality of this Dutch side in the lead-up to the tournament but their perfect record in the group stage seems to indicate they’re a lot stronger than many critics believed. Perhaps it’s worth looking at what they can do on the park rather than what they can’t – and eight goals in three games says they’re a free-scoring machine. It was said they needed to find support for Memphis Depay in attack and it’s been the unlikely figure of captain Georginio Wijnaldum – usually a stay-at-home midfielder – who has struck three goals in the last two games.
