Republic of Ireland travel to the Netherlands for their UEFA EURO clash on Saturday evening.

Netherlands vs Ireland odds

Netherlands are still in danger of not making it through to the summer tournament next year, as they have to beat Greece's point.

Ireland don't have much to fight for in terms of reaching the EURO's through the normal route in this group and also being away from home, gives them odds of 16/1.

Netherlands are just 1/7 to beat the Republic of Ireland and 6/1 to get a point.

Netherlands vs Ireland predictions

Ireland just can't get through to the Euro 2024 tournament through the group stages by gaining six points with their two remaining games.

Netherlands and Greece are already on the amount of points (12) that Ireland need but there's only one more space behind France to reach the tournament automatically.

Weirdly, Ireland need to lose against Netherlands to keep those tournament hopes alive.

The route they can still go down in the qualification to get into the EURO 2024 play-offs.

There are a total of 12 teams that will compete in March but they're selected via the Nations League, meaning Netherlands beating Greece to qualify automatically would help Ireland's chances through the other international tournament...

Of course they won't throw this game away but the Netherlands will be putting out a much stronger side in that regard, and the odds are a giveaway to how mismatched the squads are.

Netherlands vs Ireland tips

Netherlands win, over 2.5 goals, goal in both halves, BTTS – 2.28/1

Despite their strong squads, the Netherlands haven't quite been up there in major tournaments in recent years, last reaching the semi-finals in 2004.

And have been absent from such finals in the World Cup since 2014.

This could be a turning point for them this year though with another side capable of doing so with the right set up and look like easing to victory over Ireland.

However, it wasn't an easy victory in the reverse fixture in September, as they beat them 2-1.

Falling behind within the first five minutes to a penalty from Adam Idah.

Netherlands fought back, with a penalty of their own in the 19th minute, before Wout Weghorst got the go-ahead and ultimately the winner of the game before the hour mark.

The game was by all accounts quite even and could easily have ended a draw.

There were plenty of yellow cards, fouls and it made a great game for the neutrals.

This rematch is set to be more of the same too and equally end-to-end but with Netherlands likely to edge it once more, with even better quality in the final third.
