This is the Netherlands' final friendly match before the European Championship. I do not believe Iceland will repeat their miracle performance as they did against England.

Match Stats

For the Dutch, this is the second preparatory match before the European Championship. A few days ago, on June 6, they convincingly defeated Canada 4-0, and now they will face Iceland. At the Euros, the Netherlands will compete in a group with Poland, France, and Austria. Reflecting on their journey to the tournament, the Netherlands suffered two defeats against France, 0-4 and 1-2, but won all their other matches. In eight matches, the Dutch accumulated 18 points and secured a place in the European Championship from second place in their group.

The Netherlands is considered one of the contenders for the European Championship title. Bookmakers offer odds of 16 for their victory, which is the seventh-best among all teams. The Dutch have won the tournament once, back in 1988. In the FIFA rankings, the Netherlands currently holds the seventh position.

Iceland will miss the upcoming European Championship. In their qualifying group, they finished fourth with ten points from ten matches, retaining a chance to qualify through the UEFA Nations League. In the semi-final, they crushed Israel 4-1, but in the final, they narrowly lost to Ukraine 1-2. In their history, they have only played in one Euro, in 2016, where Iceland performed a true miracle. In the Round of 16, they defeated England 2-1 and reached the quarter-finals.

A few days ago, Iceland played a friendly match against England and once again managed to defeat the Three Lions, 1-0. Now, Iceland will play against the Netherlands, with their next official match scheduled for September in the UEFA Nations League.
