Bart Verbruggen GK vs. Patrick Pentz GK
Netherlands’ main wall and highly reliable goalkeeper named Bart Verbruggen has been outstanding. Verbruggen has started only 9 games in this championship and has saved the goal 1 time In matches between pressure, which is a primary component of football, it will be essential for Verbruggen to keep cool headed against Austria’s attackers. He arrived without conceding a goal and this is attributed to his good positioning and quick reflexes required to handle the Austria forwards.
On the other hand, Austria’s Patrick Pentz, while relatively inexperienced in this tournament, had achieved a shutout when he started a game. These are crucial factors that will be very vital in the constraining of the Dutch capability to launch forward-associated attacks. Pentz’s play making ability will be critical if Austria is to secure an upset or at worst a draw against a technically endowed Dutch side.
Dutch Dominance on the Attack
Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst have been on the staff for the Netherlands’ forwards. Gakpo, who clearly is a fast player and most of his shots here has put 50% of his shots on target and among them he was able to score a single goal. Weghorst has also been quite opportunistic and has snatched his only shot at goal as well. The Dutch are very tactful in their manner of play; they move seamlessly while passing the ball and make intelligent runs off the ball; this is dangerous for Austria’s defenders.
Austrian Counter-Attack
In the Austrian squad, the two players to watch out for are Christoph Baumgartner and Nicolas Seiwald; Baumgartner is especially cutting. His goal attempt was once in the match, however otherwise performing perfectly regarding his shots on target, he could pose issues to the Dutch defense because of his penetrating runs. Austria may rely on the tactics of counter-attacks as with the speed and dribbling abilities of Baumgartner and Seiwald Austria might put pressure on the Dutch defense.
