Netherlands and Austria meet in the final match of Group D with both teams squarely in the mix to qualify for the knockout stage. Netherlands currently sit at the top of the group thanks to the extra goal it has scored in the competition, while Austria is in third place but just one point behind both Netherlands and France. The Dutch come into this game off a 0-0 draw with France while the Austrians logged a 3-1 win over Poland.

VAR prevented Netherlands from grabbing a win over France and qualifying for the knockout round, meaning the Dutch have some work to do in this game. Austria have actually looked good in the tournament and probably should’ve had a draw against France but fell due to an unfortunate own goal. A win means qualification for either side, while Netherlands would get into the round of 16 with a draw. Austria would need other results from third-place teams to go their way in the event of a draw.
There are no injury concerns for either side and it looks like both managers will play their best lineup with so much at stake.
With both sides showing enough moments of inconsistency, it’s hard to back either to win outright in what should be a fairly even contest. Netherlands have had some success on the wings, but Austria’s defense has tightened up after some rough moments early against France. Austria has been good on the counterattack, which Netherlands has struggled to defend at times due to their style of play. I like a draw in this match with both sides fighting to advance.
