The Netherlands, meanwhile, finalized preparations for this tournament with a 2-1 victory over Finland last week. Vivianne Miedema scored a first half brace to give her nation a two-goal lead at the break while Oona Siren pulled one back for Finland deep into injury time.

Wales Women vs Netherlands Women Prediction
Wales are making their debut at the Euros and have been handed arguably the worst possible draw they could have gotten. The Dragons are the lowest-ranked side in this tournament and have not impressed en-route. They were relegated from the top-flight of the Nations League and have not scored more than once in their last six games.
The Netherlands were crowned European champions in 2017 but their chances of matching that feat appear slim this time around. With England and France also in this group, this game is ostensibly the only one where Andries Jonker's side will be expected to claim maximum points.
Backing the Netherlands to claim a comfortable victory and clean sheet.
Prediction: Wales Women 0-4 The Netherlands Women
