The stage is set for a high-stakes encounter as England takes on the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-final at Signal-Iduna-Park in Dortmund.

Both teams have navigated a challenging path to reach this point, with England aiming to secure back-to-back European Championship finals and the Netherlands seeking their first final appearance since 1988.

England enters the semi-final after a dramatic quarter-final win against Switzerland.

Despite trailing late in the game, Bukayo Saka’s equalizer forced extra time, and England triumphed in the penalty shootout.

This victory followed a similarly narrow escape in the round of 16 against Slovakia, showcasing the Three Lions’ resilience under pressure. Manager Gareth Southgate will mark his 101st game in charge with this critical match, hoping to guide England to their second consecutive Euro final.

On the other side, the Netherlands, coached by Ronald Koeman, have also demonstrated remarkable resolve. In their quarter-final clash with Turkey, the Dutch came from behind to win 2-1, thanks to goals from Stefan de Vrij and an own goal forced by Cody Gakpo.

The Oranje’s journey has seen them advance from a tough group stage and overcome a resilient Turkish side, underlining their credentials as serious contenders.

England is boosted by the return of Luke Shaw, who is now fit after a hamstring injury, though he may not start. Key players such as Harry Kane, who confirmed he is fit despite cramping in the last match, Bukayo Saka, and Jude Bellingham are expected to play pivotal roles.

Kane, England’s all-time leading scorer, will look to add to his tally in the knockout stages, where he has excelled historically.

For the Netherlands, the selection dilemma revolves around Wout Weghorst, whose impactful performance against Turkey could earn him a starting spot alongside Memphis Depay.

Virgil van Dijk, celebrating his 33rd birthday, will lead the defense, while Xavi Simons and Cody Gakpo will be crucial in attack.

This semi-final marks the fourth major tournament meeting between these two nations.

The Netherlands famously defeated England 3-1 during their triumphant Euro ’88 campaign, while England’s last significant victory came in a 4-1 win at Euro ’96.

However, recent encounters have favored the Dutch, including a 3-1 extra-time victory in the 2019 UEFA Nations League semi-finals.

Prediction: 1-0 Netherlands win
