Holland vs England preview
England return to action in Germany, much to the anticipation of supporters who have experienced an emotional rollercoaster following Gareth Southgate’s side in this competition.
A laborious group stage was swiftly followed by an extra-time victory over Slovakia before narrowly scraping past Switzerland via penalties.
While their style, tactics, and personnel choices remain under scrutiny, the fact remains that Southgate’s team has reached the semi-finals for the third time in the last four major tournaments.
England will face Holland in Dortmund on Wednesday night, and a win, regardless of how it is achieved, will secure them a spot in their second consecutive European Championship final. The stakes are incredibly high.
Throughout the tournament, England have often encountered dogged defences and well-organised units aimed at stifling their attacking play.
However, Holland present a different challenge with their free-flowing, possession-based game. The Dutch have also shown resilience, coming from behind twice to win at Euro 2024, and possess bags of quality to exploit any mistakes.
Recent history favours Holland, who defeated England 3-1 in extra time during the 2019 Nations League play-offs. They have lost only one of their last nine head-to-head meetings with England. And of all the nations England have faced 20 or more times, only against Brazil do they have a lower win rate.
Despite this, Ronald Koeman’s side have a Euros hoodoo, having been eliminated in four of their five semi-final appearances at the European Championships. England will hope to leverage this as they aim for the final.

Holland vs England betting tips
Slow start
It’s highly unlikely that either of these sides are going to come flying out the blocks, especially in a game of such importance.
Gareth Southgate certainly won’t be ripping up his playbook to go all-out attack against a side more than capable of doing damage on the counter.
The Three Lions, who showed mild improvement in the first half against Switzerland, still failed to register a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes for the second-consecutive knockout match.
Holland also failed to have an effort on target in the first half of their quarter-final victory over Turkey, while they’ve only managed to score one first-half goal in four matches.

Booked
Luke Shaw could find himself in the starting XI for the first time in this competition having featured against Switzerland.
Shaw’s appearance from the bench after 78 minutes against the Swiss marked his first competitive football since suffering his injury in February.
And playing 90 minutes in a Euros semi-final won’t be an easy assignment for the Manchester United defender.
The 28-year-old will find himself up against flying full-back Denzel Dumfries and the tricky Steven Bergwijn, who are likely to target and test Shaw’s fitness all night.
Shaw may have only made 15 appearances for United last season, but he still managed to collect seven bookings.

Shots fired
Dutch forward Memphis Depay certainly isn’t afraid of a shot or two, and his tally of 18 efforts in five matches should grow on Wednesday evening.
The 30-year-old has averaged 3.6 efforts per match at Euro 2024 playing for a side who’ve scored nine goals across their five games at the tournament with only Germany and Spain (11 each) having scored more.
Their 8.12 expected goals (xG) also ranks fourth in the competition, while England have let up 25 efforts on their goal in the last two matches.
