NED vs NIR Dream11 Match Prediction | Netherlands vs Northern Ireland | EURO 2020 Qualifiers

Northern Ireland who sits at the second spot in Group C will be taking a trip to Rotterdam to face the Netherlands.

Northern Ireland is currently level on points with Germany, while ‘the Oranje’ sit at third with a game in hand and can very much overtake their upcoming opponents with a win.

Match Details

Date- Friday, October 11

Kick-Off- 12:15 AM (IST)

Venue- De Kuip


Netherlands Team News

Ronald Koeman’s men have won three games of the four that they’ve been a part of in Grop C.

Their only defeat in the Qualifiers came against Germany with the scoreline being 3-2.

The Oranje then beat England 3-1 in the semis of the UEFA Nations League but had to face a 1-0 defeat to Portugal in the finals.

However, they came back in a grand manner by beating Germany 4-2 away from home followed by a 4-o win against Estonia.

Ronald Koeman could go with the same team which featured against Estonia. Donyell Malen impressed in his first two appearances and could be in the team sheet, while Davy Propper could come in place of Marten de Roon.


Northern Ireland Team News 

Northern Ireland has been able to professionally nick wins in the qualifiers against Belarus on two occasions as well as Estonia and Luxembourg.

Their solitary defeat in the group was against Germany.

O’Neill’s men will be targetting a top-two finish in the group in spite of them being termed as the underdogs.

Northern Ireland will be without the services of Jamal Lewis at left-back due to a knee injury which he sustained.

Stuart Dallas might have to switch positions as a result, with Conor McLaughlin coming in at right-back.

Josh Magennis or Lafferty can make it into the team sheet due to Conor Washington being sidelined due to an injury.


Predicted Lineups 

The Netherlands- Cillessen; Veltman, Van Dijk, De Ligt, Blind; Propper, De Jong, Wijnaldum; Malem, Depay, Babel

Northern Ireland- Peacock-Farrell; McLaughlin, Catchcart, J Evans, Dallas; McNair, Davis, Saville; C Evans, McGinn, Lafferty


Key Points

In the last three encounters between the two sides, it’s the Netherlands who has had the upper hand with two wins. One match ended in level terms during that period.

Steven Davis and Kyle Lafferty have scored six goals for Northern Ireland and will be a major threat to the Dutch defence.

Memphis Depay, Babel and Wijnaldum have been in goal scoring form for club and country and can prove to be the danger men for the Netherlands.
