The Dutch finished top of their group with three wins from their three matches and are the top scorers in the tournament, having managed eight goals
Netherlands face Czech Republic at the Puskas Arena on Sunday in the last-16 of Euro 2020.
Frank De Boer’s men have scored at least twice in each of their last 10 matches in all competitions and their eight goals at Euro 2020 have come from four different players, with Gini Wijnaldum responsible for three strikes.
Jaroslav Silhavy’s side, meanwhile, made it through to the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed nations thanks to a win over a Scotland and a draw against Croatia.
The Netherlands should be be confident of continuing their strong scoring form this weekend considering Czech Republic have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight matches.

- Memphis Depay has been directly involved in 13 goals in his last 10 appearances for Netherlands in all competitions (9 goals, 4 assists), while only Robert Lewandowski (12) attempted more shots than Depay (11) in the group stage at EURO 2020.
- Patrik Schick recorded six of the Czech Republic’s nine shots on target in the group stage at EURO 2020, the highest percentage of any player for his team in the tournament (67%). However, five of Schick’s shots on target in the group stage came against Scotland on MD1 – he has recorded just one in his last two appearances.
