The Netherlands return with another UEFA Euro 2020 match this week as they lock horns with Austria in an important Group C match at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Friday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Austria took their time to hit their stride in their first game of the competition but did well to secure a 3-1 victory against North Macedonia. The Austrians face a stern challenge in their group and will need to work hard to qualify for the knock-outs this year.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, suffered a scare against Ukraine but managed to dig deep to secure an important 3-2 victory. The Oranje have plenty of talent in their ranks and cannot afford to drop points in this fixture.

Netherlands (NED) vs Austria (AUT) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
With 26 goals and 22 assists in 65 appearances, Memphis Depay has a sensational record for the Netherlands and has become their talisman. The Lyon striker was unable to find the back of the net against Ukraine and will be intent on proving his mettle against Austria.
Georginio Wijnaldum is also an excellent choice for the team and his late runs into the penalty area frequently result in goals. Marcel Sabitzer has been impressive for Austria in his own right and will have to step up in the absence of Arnautovic.
Denzel Dumfries was exceptional in the Netherlands' previous game and will be intent on adding to his goal tally in this fixture. Frenkie de Jong ran the show in typical fashion against Ukraine and his improved proficiency in the final third makes him a must-have against Austria.
The Dream11 Fantasy suggestion #2 backs Austria to take something away from this fixture.
