Another exciting international friendly clash to watch out for

Netherlands continue their final preparations for Euro 2024 with an international friendly against Canada on Thursday evening at De Kuip. For the Dutch, it allows them to sort out their formation, tactical tweaks, and planning before the UEFA Euro 2024 group fixture begins this June. Ronald Koeman is preparing to take the Netherlands into another tournament as one of the dark horses in a bid to end their 36-year wait for another major trophy. The Dutch have enough quality players to perform very well on the pitch against a good Canadian side.

These two nations have gone three decades without crossing paths, with the Netherlands running out 3-0 victors when they met in Toronto in 1994. Canada should treat this friendly fixture against the Dutch and the following match against France as a chance to garner some momentum by delivering strong performances, leading into the Copa America 2024. This will be an exciting and mouthwatering fixture for sure as both teams have quality players and both will give each other a tough challenge.
