Netherlands and Ukraine will face off in the matchday 1 of Euro 2020 Group C atAmsterdam ArenA on Sunday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CEST.

Preview

The Group C favourites will kick off their respective routes to the Wembley final in Amsterdam with Frank de Boer's crop having a home ground advantage. The Netherlands will be hoping for Memphis Depay to continue his goalscoring heroics on the weekend as it's the yet-Lyon forward who is considered his side's biggest offensive threat with more goal involvements than appearances for club and country since the turn of the year.

Ukraine, meanwhile, also have a few top-class players among their ranks in Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko, West Ham's Andriy Yarmolenko and Ruslan Malinovskyi of Atalanta. Even though the Ukrainians haven't produced their best form in 2021, Andriy Shevchenko's side will travel to the Dutch capital on the back of consecutive friendly victories over Northern Ireland and Cyprus.

Team news

Donny van de Beek's recent groin injury has ruled the Manchester United midfielder out the Euro finals while Jasper Cillessen won't help Oranje at the tournament ater testing positive for Covid-19. Matthijs de Ligt, meanwhile, remains the major doubt due to a groin problem. Ukraine, on the other hand, have no significant injury absentees.

Prediction

Even though the Netherlands are tipped to top the Group C ahead of Ukraine, Austria and North Macedonia, Shevchenko's men are more than capable of causing major trouble to Oranje after topping their qualifying group ahead of Portugal and Serbia. As neither side can boast mistake-free defense, especially in the past few months, we do expect to see goals at both ends on Sunday.
