The Netherlands top Group D having picked up four points from their opening two matches and are starting to believe that they can go all the way and win Euro 2024.
Ronaldo Koeman's men can count themselves unlucky not to have beaten France 1-0 after the underdogs had a goal dubiously ruled out for offside.
Austria provide the opposition in the final round of group games and following their 3-1 win over Poland, Ralf Rangnick's men are full of confidence.

Netherlands preview: Came close to beating France
The Netherlands played out a goalless draw against France on matchday two but were left frustrated with the officials as Xavi Simons had a goal ruled out for offside when the player in question wasn't interfering with play.
Despite that, a draw was enough to keep Ronaldo Koeman's side top of Group D heading into the third and final round of fixtures where they will face another tough test against Austria. The Dutch have a good record against Tuesday's opponents winning eight, drawing two and losing just three of their previous 13 encounters.
Predicted lineup: Verbruggen (GK), de Vrij, Aké, van Dijk, Dumfries, Frimpong, Schouten, Reijnders, Simons, Depay & Gakpo

Austria preview: Upped their game against Poland
Austria weren't at their best in the first half of their game against Poland but managed to come in at the break level at 1-1.
Patrick Winner's introduction straight after the break seemed to galvanise Ralf Rangnick's men who dominated the second half, scoring twice and winning the game 3-1.
With their first points on the board, Austria are now full of confidence and there is a good chance that a draw against the Dutch would be enough to see them progress into the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed sides.

Player to watch – Xavi Simons
Xavi Simons has been a source of frustration for the Netherlands at Euro 2024 due to his lack of composure in the final third but the young midfielder was arguably robbed of a winning goal against France on matchday two.
Despite his mistakes, Simons does carry the ball forward a lot for Ronald Koeman's side and is always looking to play through-balls or take a shot on goal, so we shouldn't bee too harsh on the RB Leipzig loanee.
The young Dutch midfielder was unlucky not to score against France
In fact, we're backing Simons to shine against Austria on Tuesday and wouldn't be surprised to see the 21-year-old get a goal or create one during the 90 minutes.
