Netherlands vs Czech Republic predicted lineups: Team news, squads, injury updates, suspensions for Euros fixture today

The Netherlands and Czech Republic will be bidding to reach the quarter-finals at Euro 2020 when they clash in the last 16 this evening.

The Dutch have won all of their games so far to top Group C, but Frank de Boer opted against making wholesale changes for their final fixture against North Macedonia - despite having qualification assured - as he wanted to build the understanding and rhythm within his side.

His main selection decision will be over whether to bring striker Wout Weghorst back in to partner Memphis Depay up front, or else allow Donyell Malen to continue.

Meanwhile, left-back Jan Boril is suspended for the Czech Republic, with Hoffenheim’s Pavel Kaderabek likely to fill in this evening.

Here is how we predict the two sides will shape up in Budapest...
