Netherlands take on the visitors Greece in the round 5 match of UEFA Euro qualification match. The match will be played on Thursday, September 7th at Philips Stadion (Eindhoven).
The Netherlands are playing a decisive match, at least for their coach. Two years ago, the Oranje called Louis van Gaal back to the coaching position after disappointing performances at the European Championship and difficulties in the qualification. Louis managed to produce results, accumulating enough points in the qualification to surpass their competitors, and winning their group in the UEFA Nations League. Furthermore, with the Dutch veterans, they reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, where they lost to the eventual champions, Argentina, in a penalty shootout. In 2023, another successful coach at the helm, Ronald Koeman, returned to the post. He made his second debut with a 0-4 loss to France in Paris, followed by defeats to Croatia and Italy in the UEFA Nations League Final Four in June, and a 3-0 win against Gibraltar doesn't change much. It's not unlikely that after another setback, the coach could be replaced, possibly with Sarina Wiegman, who could become the first woman to lead a men's national team at such a level.

Greece have improved under Gus Poyet. In 2014, the Hellenes concluded a strong period of performance, peaking with a sensational victory at the European Championship a decade earlier. They reached the playoffs for the World Cup in Brazil, but since then, they struggled to qualify for major tournaments. Recently, they have seen some improvement. Last year, under Uruguayan coach Gus Poyet, they won their group in Division C of the UEFA Nations League with five victories. They have also had a decent start in the current qualification campaign, defeating Gibraltar and Ireland. However, they lost to the group favorite, France, due to a single goal from Mbappé through a penalty.
The Dutch team had five victories with one draw, but in the last two matches, the Greeks proved stronger. The Netherlands are considered the clear favorites. However, the visitors could surprise. The prediction is for a Greek victory with a +1.5 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Greece to win with +1.5 handicap.
