The Netherlands find themselves just a point away from securing a spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stage ahead of their crucial match against Austria on Tuesday. Having been cheered on by tens of thousands of orange-clad fans in previous games, the Dutch are now set for a showdown in Berlin, which will also host the final next month.

Historically, the Netherlands have had a strong record against Austria, winning seven consecutive games, including a group stage victory in the last edition of the tournament. However, Austria, under the guidance of German coach Ralf Rangnick, has shown resilience, losing only once in their 10 qualifying matches.

As the teams prepare for the match, the Dutch camp awaits an injury update from coach Ronald Koeman, while Austria will miss defender Gernot Trauner. The match's outcome will also be influenced by the parallel game between France and Poland in Group D.
