Netherlands vs Austria: Pre-Match Facts
- The Netherlands have won their two previous major tournament encounters with Austria (World Cup/Euros). The Dutch won 5-1 at the 1978 FIFA World Cup and 2-0 at Euro 2020.
- Austria have lost their last seven matches against the Netherlands, their longest current run of defeats against a single opponent. Austria’s last victory dates back to May 1990 in a Vienna friendly (3-2).
- The Netherlands are aiming to reach the knockout stages at the UEFA European Championship for the eighth time in their last nine tournament appearances, having only failed to qualify in one of their previous eight (in 2012 under Bert van Marwijk).
- Austria are looking to qualify for the knockout stages of the UEFA European Championship for the second consecutive edition (reached round of 16 at Euro 2020), after failing to progress from the group stage in their first two appearances in the competition in 2008 and 2016.
- Since the start of the 2014 World Cup, the Netherlands haven’t lost any of their group stage matches at major tournaments (World Cup/Euros), winning nine of their 11 such matches (D2). They did fail to win against France last time out, however, while failing to score for the first time across those 11 games.
- Following their 3-1 win over Poland last time out, Austria could win back-to-back games at a single major tournament (World Cup/Euros) for the first time since the 1982 World Cup (1-0 v Chile, 2-0 v Algeria).
- Marcel Sabitzer will make his 10th major tournament (World Cup/Euros) appearance if he plays here, with the last players to reach 10 such appearances for Austria all coming back at the 1982 World Cup (five different players).
- Tijjani Reijnders completed more line-breaking passes than any other Netherlands player against France on MD2 (13), while he also had the highest pass completion rate under pressure of any outfield player to start the match in Leipzig (97% – 30/31).
- Nicolas Seiwald has recovered possession 11 times and made 10 tackles in his two games at Euro 2024 so far, both the most of any Austrian player. Despite that energetic defensive work, the midfielder is still yet to concede a foul at the tournament.
- Virgil van Dijk made eight clearances in his side’s 0-0 draw against France last time out; the most by a Netherlands player in a group stage game at the UEFA European Championship since 2008 versus Romania (13 by John Heitinga and nine by Wilfried Bouma).
