Euro 2024 has lived up to expectations on every front, with just three matches left until a champion has been crowned and brings glory to their country.
Going into Wednesday’s semi-final, the Netherlands are slight underdogs against a strong English team with Bet365, with the Netherlands coming in at +110 to face Spain in the final.
England are odds of -138 to progress despite their uneven play in the tournament.
England fans can thank Jude Bellingham, whose incredible 94th minute bicycle kick goal against Switzerland saw England reach this far when hopes were beginning to fade.
With Bellingham rescuing England, the Netherlands are faced with a tougher game than they could possibly hope for on Wednesday afternoon.

Netherlands vs England predictions
(3 p.m. ET, FOX)
England were favourites going into the tournament but inconsistent performances have led to a decline in public opinion of the national team.
But is this a situation where top talent will rise to the top?
England undoubtedly have more talent than the Netherlands, but questions remain about their ability to retain possession and control the pace.
The Netherlands drew 0-0 with France in the group stage and lost to Austria, but they made it comfortably to the semi-finals this year.
They got here by defeating Romania and Türkiye with overwhelming victories.
The team they face on Wednesday is different.
England and manager Gareth Southgate have become a little too used to playing close games in this competition, but they could easily be -200 favourites in this match.

As I said, the game against Switzerland was close and truly horrible, so it’s hard to say they’ll win in regulation.
But with that late performance, it is fair to expect England to win on Wednesday and progress to the Championship with an exciting game against Spain.
Prediction: England to advance (-138, Bet365)
