Needing only a draw to secure a spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stages, the Netherlands will face Austria in their final Group D match .
Seeking to advance to the knockout rounds for the eighth time in nine European Championship appearances, the Netherlands moved closer to their goal by securing a 0-0 draw with tournament favorites France on Friday night.
Having beaten Poland 2-1 in their opener, the Netherlands will secure a top-two finish in Group D if they avoid losing to Austria and can clinch first place if they win and France falters against Poland. A draw against Austria would still see them finish second if France wins, while even a defeat would likely allow them to progress as a third-placed finisher with four points.
Austria, meanwhile, have lost their last seven matches against the Netherlands, with their most recent victory dating back to May 1990. To qualify for the last 16, they may need to end this losing streak on Tuesday. Austria can win Group D if they beat the Netherlands and France doesn't win, while a draw and a French loss would see Austria finish third based on head-to-head record. Even a single point would likely be enough for Austria to progress as one of the best third-placed teams, marking their second consecutive appearance in the knockout rounds.
