Football Predictions
After their drubbing at the hands of France, Ireland meets the Netherlands with nothing less than a win set to hamper their Euro 2024 Qualification dreams.
Even though the Netherlands will still have half their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign still ahead of them after this one, and Ireland will still have three games to play, this seems like it will be a pivotal moment for both nations.
After not qualifying for the last European Championship – and some generally disappointing results and performances since – there has been some improvement recently. But a draw or a win against the Netherlands would really get the nation behind the team once again.

Past Meetings;
27/5/16: Ireland 1-1 Netherlands
4/7/94: Netherlands 2-0 Ireland
21/6/90: Ireland 1-1 Netherlands
Team News
Stephen Kenny was dealt a hammer blow just before the France game with the news that Evan Ferguson would miss both games during this international break. Callum Robinson, Michael Obafemi, Troy Parrott, and Mikey Johnston are also sidelined.
With Justin Bijlow injured, Koeman will go back to Andreas Noppert in goal, while hoping that his back four came through the Greece game unscathed. Cody Gakpo should get the nod up front ahead of Wout Weghorst.
Probable Line-Ups
Ireland XI: Bazunu; O’Shea, Collins, Egan; Doherty, Cullen, Molumby, Stevens; Knight, Keane; Idah
Netherlands XI: Noppert; Dumfries, Geertruida, van Dijk, Ake; Wieffer, Simons, de Jong; Malen, Gakpo, Lang
Verdict
Ireland can be an intimidating country but injuries to some of their best players leave them vulnerable against a Netherlands side who are determined to bury their position in the qualification.
