England vs Netherlands Preview

Tournament: UEFA Women's Euro 2025

Date: 9th July, 2025

Kick-off time: 4:00 PM

Venue: Letzigrund

At matchday 2 in Group D, the England Women's National Football Team will face the Netherlands Women's National Football Team. While both of the teams are focusing on getting the three points, for the Lionesses, the stakes are higher, given they need to win the fixture to keep their Euro 2025 dreams alive. The last time these two teams met each other, the Netherlands Women's National Football Team was victorious. However, after matchday 1, the Netherlands Women's National Football Team are the ones who have momentum by their side ahead of the fixture.

The England Women's National Football Team are coming into the match after a heavy loss against the France Women's National Football Team, which was considered the toughest fixture in the group. While the Lionesses started the match well and showed a few glimpses of control, they failed to trouble the France Women's National Football Team for the major part of the game. After Russo's goal was ruled out, it was France who had the game in control. In the 36th minute, Katoto gave France the lead, and it was followed by Sandy Baltimore, who made the score 2-0 three minutes later of the first goal. Even though Keira Walsh's long-range effort made it 2-1, the Lionesses failed to find the equalizer.

On the other hand, the Netherlands Women's National Football Team had a comfortable win. After a solid show of discipline in the defense by Wales, Vivianne Miedema spoiled the party of the Wales Women's National Football Team. Her lead was doubled up by Victoria Pelova, who was assisted by van de Donk. The match was settled when Esmee Brugts made it 3-0 before the 60-minute mark. Before the kick-off, the Netherlands Women's National Football Team is leading Group D with three points. On the other hand, the England Women's National Football Team is in the 3rd position with 0 points. In their last five matches, the England Women's National Football Team won twice and lost three times. On the other hand, the Netherlands Women's National Football Team won three, drew 1, and lost 1 in their last five matches. If the Lionesses wish to keep their Euro 2025 dreams alive, they would need to win their matchday 2 fixture.

England Women's National Football Team News

There is no doubt that the Lionesses are aiming for the trophy. They have done it all before when they beat Germany to win the tournament at Wembley. The England Women's National Football Team's manager also won it once, but it was with the Netherlands.

Even though they lost their first group fixture, not a lot of changes are expected from Sarina Wiegman. Ella Toone will surely start the match along with Russo and Hemp. Despite starting the match last time, Lauren James might be benched for this fixture. On the other hand, Kiera Walsh and Jess Carter might be dropped.

Netherlands Women's National Football Team News

Netherlands have won the trophy back in 2017, when Sarina Wiegman was the coach. They are looking forward to winning the competition again, and the momentum is on their side. After their stunning performance against the Wales Women's National Football Team, there are not many changes expected from their side either. Caitlin Dijkstra might be in the starting line-up to take Buurman's place, but it is not confirmed.

The Oranje will keep Miedema at the front line with Van de Donk and Roord right behind her. Moreover, the midfield is expected to stay the same for their next fixture.

Key players to watch in England vs Netherlands

Alessia Russo (England Women's National Football Team)

Alessia Russo is the player in the front of the England Women's National Football Team who poses the greatest threat. Her goal in the first match of Group D was ruled out, but the Arsenal forward looked dangerous with the ball.

In the 2024-25 campaign, she had a total of 41 appearances, scoring 20 goals and making five assists across all competitions for Arsenal. So far in the 2025 campaign of the national team, she has scored 6 times and bagged an assist. She failed to find the net in the first match of UEFA Euro 2025. But in their next match against the Netherlands Women's National Football Team, the story will be different.

Vivianne Miedema (Netherlands Women's National Football Team)

One of the priorities of the England Women's National Football Team would be to pay close attention to Vivianne Miedema. With her scoring in the opening match of Group D, she secured her 100th goal for her country. And it seems like she is only getting started. Speaking of her goal-scoring abilities, in the 2024-25 campaign, Miedema managed 11 goals in just 19 appearances and bagged 3 assists. It was her debut season with Manchester City. For the Netherlands' 2025 campaign, she has had a total of 8 appearances, scoring 5 goals and bagging 1 assist so far. Given her form, Miedema will be a menace on the front line of the Oranje.

England vs Netherlands Prediction

It is safe to say that both the England Women's National Football Team and the Netherlands Women's National Football Team are looking to get the three points. But while the Netherlands are looking to qualify with a game in hand, England are looking to earn the three points to keep their Euro 2025 dreams alive.

Both teams have quality players in their teams that can win this important fixture. Looking at their first matches, the England Women's National Football Team struggled to cope with the France Women's National Football Team's attacks. On the other hand, the Netherlands Women's National Football Team won their first match without conceding. Even if it seems that the Oranje have the momentum on their side, with Sarina Wiegman's leadership, the England Women's National Football Team can change the course of the game in a minute. The game is expected to see a lot of goals from both sides.

Predicted Score: England 4-3 Netherlands.
