Netherlands vs Greece Lineups and Last Match
Netherlands
Ronaldo Koeman's side secured a comfortable 3-0 victory in their last Euro 2024 qualifier against Gibraltar. Depay, who isn't in the latest squad, opened the scoring in the 23rd-minute before an unlikely brace from Ake in the second half which wrapped up the 3-0 win after Gibraltar had had Walker sent-off in the 51st-minute. There is no space in the Netherlands squad for goalkeepers Bijlow or Cillessen, while Timber, Malacia, Wijnaldum, Gravenberch, Bergwijn and Depay also miss out either due to injury or poor form.
Predicted Lineup – Flekken (GK), Aké, van Dijk, Dumfries, de Ligt, de Jong, Wieffer, Simons, Berghuis, Gakpo & Weghorst
Greece
Greece gave a good account of themselves in a game nobody expected them to win, away at the Group B leaders France. A solitary penalty from Mbappe early in the second-half proved enough for France to defeat Greece with the visitors being reduced to 10-men in the 69th-minute when Mavropanos was sent-off, meaning he will miss the game against the Netherlands. Barkas, Fortounis, Douvikas and Tzolis have not mad the latest Greece squad for one reason or another.
Predicted Lineup – Vlachodimos (GK), Baldock, Chatzidiakos, Tsimikas, Retsos, Mantalos, Kourbelis, Bakasetas, Siopis, Masouras & Pavlidis

Starting Lineups
Netherlands
Greece
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Cody Gakpo
With Depay missing from the Netherlands squad, the rest of the team will be looking to the likes of Cody Gakpo to provide the quality up-front to defeat Greece on Thursday.
Gakpo impressed at the World Cup for the Netherlands and has managed to score 6-goals in his opening 17 caps for his country.
Whilst the young forward is yet to set the Premier League alight, Gakpo has scored 7-goals in his opening 25 appearances for Liverpool and continues to improve with each game that passes. Gakpo is due a goal for his country after failing to find the back of the net in each of his last five appearances, could this be the game he ends his goal-drought?
