There are those who expect the Netherlands, with such a talented young squad at their disposal, to be a considerable force at Euro 2021. The betting odds for North Macedonia vs Netherlands, favouring them at 1.33, suggest they should win the match on June 21.
What can we expect from the Macedonians? It is surprising that they have qualified for the European Championships for the first time in their history, and their record in qualifying wasn’t particularly strong.
Yet, this is a team that defeated Germany in a World Cup qualifier in March and also scored five goals against Liechtenstein just days prior. Additionally, despite losing to Austria and Ukraine, they managed to score once in both matches. Perhaps they should not be underestimated.
The Dutch qualified impressively, but don’t forget they lost to Turkey in the World Cup qualifiers in March, making them far from invincible.
So, can Macedonia achieve the unthinkable and defeat the Netherlands in Amsterdam on June 21? This preview will weigh the pros and cons of the underdogs.
1. Macedonia vs Netherlands Betting Odds
There is a sense among the betting community that the Netherlands are a worthwhile option in the Euro 2021 betting odds.
If this holds true, after winning against Ukraine (3-2) and Austria (2-0), the Dutch will certainly want to secure points in this last Group C match, and the bookmakers believe that is likely in their odds, making the Dutch the 1.33 favourites.
On the other hand, those betting on the Macedonians can back them to win at 11.00, while the draw is available at 4.75.
2. North Macedonia vs Netherlands Preview
This Dutch squad looks like it could be a force in the future, featuring young talents like Matthijs de Ligt, Donny van de Beek, Frenkie de Jong, and Steven Bergwijn, all aged 24 and under.
There is also experience in players like Gini Wijnaldum and Daley Blind, who play vital roles in this team. While there is a balance, it could be argued that Euro 2021 may have come too soon for the Netherlands regarding winning the tournament.
Nonetheless, they can be expected to beat Macedonia more often than not, even in the absence of Virgil van Dijk, who leaves a significant void in the centre of defence.
“It’s a perfect scenario, winning the group with one match to go. The pressure is off for the last match, even though we still want to win it.” – Frenkie de Jong, Netherlands-Austria post-match conference.
