NETHERLANDS – ENGLAND SOCCER PREDICTION
Absent the next World Cup 2018, the Netherlands hope to revive dominating a team from England preparing for his trip to Russia. No benefit in terms of motivation
State of form
Despite a very good end of qualifying, the Netherlands finished only 3rd of their pool, behind France and Sweden, and the Batavians will not see the world in Russia this summer. On a good run of 5 successes in all competitions, Memphis Depay partners have lined up 2 away wins in a friendly in November 2017, against Scotland (0-1) and Romania (0-3).
For its part, England flew over his group in qualifying, finishing far ahead of Slovakia and Scotland in the standings. The selection of the Three Lions will arrive as an assistant at the next World Cup. Undefeated for 6 games, Gareth Southgate’s men remain on two draws of prestige in their last outings in friendly, against Germany (0-0) and Brazil (0-0).
Headcount for NETHERLANDS – ENGLAND
In the continuity, the Netherlands called almost the same group as against Romania. We note the absence of former stars Robben (Bayern Munich) and Sneijder (Qatar), retired, defenders Blind (Man U), Janmaat (Watford), Martins Indi (Stoke), Rekik (ex-OM) and Bruma (Wolfsburg) , midfielders Klaasen (Everton), Van Ginkel (PSV) and scorer Janssen (Fenerbahçe). The squad is led by Cillessen (Barcelona), De Vrij (Lazio), Van Djik, Wijnaldum (Liverpool), Strootman (Roma), Babel (Besiktas), Depay (OL), Promes (Spartak Moscow) and Dost (Sporting Portugal). Very promising, Patrick’s son, Justin Kluivert (Ajax), is called for the first time in the group, as the scorer Weghorst (AZ) and defender Hateboer (Atalanta).
Opposite, England is deprived of his scorer No. 1, Harry Kane (Tottenham), injured, but also defenders Bertrand (Southampton), Jones and Smalling (ManU) and Cahill (Chelsea) who are injured or dismissed. Otherwise it’s classic with the presence of Hart (West Ham), in the cages, Walker, Stones (Man City), Young (Man Utd) and Rose (Tottenham) in defense, Henderson, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain ( Liverpool), Dier, Alli (Tottenham) in the middle, Sterling (Man City), Welbeck (Arsenal), Vardy (Leicester) and Rashford (Man Utd) ahead. Note the presence of the young Mawson (Swansea), Tarkowski (Burnley) and Cook (Bournemouth), never called until now.
