Netherlands vs Greece: Stubborn guest

The Netherlands ended 2022 impressively when it reached the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup and only accepted to lose to champion team Argentina after a penalty shootout. However, after the World Cup finals, the Orange Cyclone was unable to maintain stability with coach Van Gaal stepping down to lead the team.

Accordingly, the Netherlands only got a 3-0 win against the tiny Gibraltar team and a bitter 0-4 defeat to France after two matches in Euro 2024 qualifying. Then, they lost to Croatia in turn. semi-final and lost to Italy in the third place match of the Nations Leagues. Thus, the Netherlands only won 1 match out of 4 played in 2023.

Tonight, despite playing at home, with the above erratic performance, fans will not be surprised if Koeman will receive another unfavorable result against Greece. It is also important to emphasize that Greece is a direct competitor for the next ticket to Group B in the Euro 2024 qualifying round.

At this time, Greece is focused, unbeaten in 11/15 recent matches. In the 4 defeats in the above match, they only lost by a minimal margin. Obviously, Coach Poyet's team is not an easy name for the Netherlands to bully.
