What channel is Netherlands v Ukraine Euro 2020 match on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Netherlands begin their Euro 2020 campaign against Ukraine in Amsterdam on Sunday 13th June.
Netherlands have home advantage in all three of their opening Euro 2020 fixtures this summer and are expected to make it count by topping Group C in style.
Pressure is on boss Frank de Boer to not only put on a show for the socially distanced crowds in Amsterdam but also bring the trophy home 33 years after the Dutch were last crowned European champions.
This is Netherlands’ first major tournament since they reached the 2014 World Cup semi-finals and they are expected to have little trouble bypassing Ukraine on Sunday.
Yet the visitors in the Dutch capital are not to be overlooked. After all, Ukraine topped their Euro 2020 qualifying group that included the likes of Portugal and Serbia, and held France to a 1-1 draw in World Cup qualifying three months ago.
Injuries have impacted on boss Andriy Shevchenko’s squad selection this spring but the country’s all-time top goalscorer will hope his makeshift side can frustrate their hosts this weekend.

Netherlands v Ukraine team news
Netherlands: Memphis Depay should lead the line for Netherlands here and have Steven Berghuis off to one side. Georginio Wijnaldum is the driving force in the midfield, while Donny van de Beek and Frenkie de Jong could get game time.
Defensively, Daley Blind and Matthijs de Ligt are expected to sit in the central positions, with Nathan Ake tipped to start here too.
Ukraine: At 31 years old Andriy Yarmolenko still has the legs to spearhead Ukraine’s offensive bursts from midfield, while the bulk of the hold-up duties will fall on Roman Yaremchuk.
This Ukraine squad is packed with talent and Oleksandr Zinchenko, Taras Stepanenko and Ruslan Malinovskyi should get game time here. Veteran captain Andriy Pyatov will likely start in goal.

Our prediction: Netherlands v Ukraine
Ukraine proved they can soak up pressure in their recent draw with France but rarely did they look threatening going forward; they may struggle when rolling the dice against Netherlands here.
The Dutch certainly aren’t infallible – they lost 4-2 to Turkey back in March – but De Boer has an identity running through the side that should come to the fore in this clash.
With home fans behind them in Amsterdam and expectations high, it’s for Netherlands to meet their promise and get an early hold on Group C. In reality, that shouldn’t be an issue.
Our prediction: Netherlands 2-0 Ukraine (13/2 at bet365)
