EURO 2021 | ONLINE: Netherlands – Austria 1: 0, Depay scored exactly from the penalty

1988 European Champions The Dutch have won the last six matches over Austria and have scored at least two goals for their opponent in the last seven duels.

“Austria has been going up in recent years. David Alaba is a well-known name and many of his footballers play in Germany. They are cohesive and hard to beat, “warns Dutch coach Frank de Boer.

However, his charges, who returned to the top tournament after seven years and are absent from the 2016 European Championships and the 2018 World Championships, are in good shape. In the opening duel, they lost a two-goal lead with Ukraine, but Denzel Dumfries secured their win five minutes before the end. The Dutch have lost only one of the last 11 matches and have scored at least two goals in the last eight duels.

Austria last won the match 31 years ago – in preparation 3: 2. “They are ahead of us in the FIFA rankings, they have really good players and they still play in Amsterdam, where there are fans behind them. It will be difficult, but thanks to our previous victory, we will go into it in a positive mood. We will try to show our best and it would be great if we could get something, “said midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.

While the Dutch are looking forward to the return of injured defender Matthijs de Ligt, who was still missing in the opening match, the Austrians will have to deal with the absence of striker Mark Arnautovice, who was punished by UEFA with a one-off ban
