Netherlands FC is looking continue their solid run, despite a qualification in the Euro 2024, as they eye to win against Gibraltar FC. No matter what the outcome of this match, both Netherlands and Gibraltar already have an expected outcome. Considering their amazing run in the contest, the Netherlands already secured their spots in Euro 2024. They are at the second of the standings with 15 points, winning their last two matches. On the other hand, Gibraltar is at the bottom of the group standings, considering that they remain to be winless here. In fact, they now have a 5-game losing run, coming into this match, and already eliminated in the contest. This meeting marks the fourth meeting between the two teams. This meeting is on November 22, 2023, at 3:45 AM (GMT+8).
Netherlands FC
Netherlands secured a second-place finish in Group B against the Republic of Ireland, but were unable to score a goal due to a fine finish by Wout Weghorst in the 12th minute. Weghorst scored after Nathan Collins was given the slip and surged forward, curling home into the top corner. The Netherlands avoided the pressure of the playoffs, and their second-placed ranking will not change. However, Koeman’s men could still enter Pot 2, 3, or 4 for the group-stage draw, making victory crucial for the 1988 champions. The Netherlands have won three of their previous meetings with Gibraltar, scoring 16 goals and conceding none, and their recent showdown at De Kuip ended in a 3-0 triumph.
The Netherlands were slapped by notable injuries coming into this match. They will be without Ake, Geertruida, Frimpong, and Bergwijn, who are all injured. However, Jorrel Hato, and Thijs Dallinga could earn their debuts here.
Gibraltar FC
Gibraltar’s chances of a successful Euros qualifying campaign ended when Ethan Santos inadvertently scored the ball in his own net in a match against France. The 24-year-old’s challenge on Bleus debutant Warren Zaire-Emery led to France setting a new national team winning record and posting the biggest-ever margin of victory in a Euros qualifying game. Gibraltar’s heaviest-ever defeat came against France, who had previously broken Gibraltar’s backline. Despite an unforeseen victory at the Allianz Riviera, it would have had no impact on the Group B standings. Gibraltar, along with Cyprus, Malta, San Marino, and Liechtenstein, have failed to score one goal and concede a qualification-high 35. The team has never gone through a major tournament qualifying campaign without scoring a single goal, netting a record four in the preliminary rounds of the 2022 World Cup.
Due to his red card against France, Santos faced suspension in this match, which means he is unavailable here. Meanwhile, Dylan Peacock, and Michael Ruiz awaits their debut in this match.
Prediction:
Netherlands FC (3.0)
Odds: -0.91
