Netherlands take on North Macedonia in Amsterdam today as the visiting side seek to secure an unlikely spot in the round of 16 at Euro 2020.
Frank de Boer’s Netherlands have already sealed their place in the first stage of the knockouts, having edged Ukraine 3-2 in a thrilling tie before beating Austria 2-0 with a professional showing.
North Macedonia, meanwhile, put in spirited efforts against the Austrians and Ukrainians in Group C but came up short on both occasions. A win here would give them a chance of progressing to the last 16 as one of the four best third-placed finishers, but that is now out of their hands.
