Netherlands - Austria Prediction (11:00 p.m. June 25): The danger of "The Godfather"

Ralf Rangnick is honored by the football world as "Teacher of teachers", "Godfather of football". He is the one who built the Gegenpressing system that dominates the football world. There was a time when people thought Rangnick's name was buried in the period of failure at Man Utd.

However, after taking over the coaching job of the Austrian team, Rangnick once again made the football world talk about him. The Austrian team played much brighter football than before.

The clearest proof is the victory against Poland. Austria's pressing style of play made their opponents "numb". In particular, they showed the biggest difference in the second half, causing Poland to suffer a 1-3 defeat. In the opening match, Austria also made championship candidate France struggle and only lost by a narrow 0-1.

Austria used to be a team with a relatively boring playing style, but under Rangnick, they are one of the teams worth watching at Euro 2024. It should be added that, before Euro 2024, Austria made a strong impression when they beat Germany and crushed Türkiye with a score of 6-1.

Coach Rangnick's team has 3 points (+1 goal difference) before this match. In the context of 4/6 best 3rd place teams to qualify, they only need 1 point to pass the group stage. However, Austria wants to win second place or even top this group.

The Netherlands, of course, have similar aspirations. In the last two matches, the "Orange Storm" did not play perfectly, but they still showed a certain discomfort. Typically, in the match against France, coach Koeman and his team defended quite well.

However, that was a match where the Netherlands had no other viable options when facing a stronger opponent. As for the match against Austria, how coach Koeman intends to approach it remains to be seen.

Before the final round, the Netherlands were in the top position due to a better goal difference than France. Maintaining this position is quite important as the group D winner will avoid championship candidates such as Portugal, Germany, and Spain in the remaining first bracket.

Regardless, the final match in Group D promises to be a thrilling affair. Apart from Poland, who are certain to be eliminated, the chances still lie with Austria, the Netherlands and France.

Netherlands vs Austria team information

Netherlands: The Netherlands have a strong squad with Brian Brobbey returning from injury. Coach Koeman can make a few adjustments. Ryan Gravenberch or Georginio Wijnaldum can absolutely be given the opportunity to start. Up front, Wout Weghorst could be a good addition as the Netherlands have shown quite a weak finishing.

Austria's only concern is that Gernot Trauner (who scored against Poland) is injured and is uncertain to play. Coach Rangnick is likely to keep the same squad that beat Poland. Marko Arnautovic is likely to continue to be given the opportunity to lead the attack after playing well in the previous match.

Netherlands (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake; Reijnders, Schouten; Frimpong, Simons, Gakpo; Depay
