Netherlands vs Iceland Preview, Prediction and Team News | International Friendlies

Preview

• Tournament: International Friendlies
• Date: Monday, June 10
• Kick-off Time: 07:45 pm GMT
• Venue: De Kuip, Netherlands

Netherlands national football team will face the Iceland national football team at their home ground De Kuip one last time before they set off to Germany for the UEFA Euro 2024. Netherlands registered a comfortable 4-0 win over Canada and are one of the underdogs of the competition.

The Netherlands national football team will aim for a positive outcome on Monday against a side that struggled to qualify in the European Championships play-offs. Ronald Koeman’s men will want to make one final statement before the Euros. They have been drawn alongside Poland, Austria, and France. Holland will now face Iceland in their final preparation match before facing Poland in their opening game.

Meanwhile, the Iceland national football team has had a decent run after securing three consecutive wins at the start of 2024 before collapsing against Ukraine in the European play-off semi-final back in March. They recorded a 1-0 win over England at Wembley Stadium on Friday to bounce back from their painful defeat in March.

Barcelona‘s Frenkie de Jong remains absent from this home tie after he was sidelined in the latter part of the 2023/24 season with an ankle injury.
