Predicted lineups for Wales vs Netherlands
Sophie Ingle has recovered from a long-term knee injury to make the Wales squad, but it remains to be seen how much football she will actually play this summer.
Mayzee Davies was ruled out of the tournament after suffering an ACL injury against Denmark last month. Jess Fishlock is in the squad but is a slight injury concern so could be used as an impact substitute.
Netherlands’ all-time leading goalscorer Vivianne Miedema could score her 100th international goal against Wales.
The Dutch have no serious injury concerns and with a squad containing the likes of Wieke Kaptein, Esmee Brugts, and Danielle van de Donk, the Netherlands are a potential dark horse to win the competition. However, getting out of the group will be a huge challenge.
Wales possible starting XI v Netherlands (4-2-3-1): Clark; Green, Ladd, Evans, Woodham; James, Griffiths; Holland, Rowe, Jones; Cain
Netherlands possible starting XI vs Wales (4-2-3-1): Van Domselaar; Casparij, Janssen, Buurman, Brugts; Groenen, Kaptein; Pelova, Van de Donk, Roord; Miedema
Prediction for Wales vs Netherlands
Wales are up against it when they face the Netherlands on Saturday. Although they have lost just one of their 10 games in qualifying, they struggled in recent meetings with top-tier nations during the Nations League.
The Dragons are the lowest-ranked Euro 2025 side in the latest FIFA World Rankings in 30th place.
Netherlands don’t enter the tournament as one of the top favourites but possess winning pedigree from Euro 2017.
They also have some exceptional players in their squad, including Vivianne Miedema. Therefore, we don’t expect any slip-up from the Netherlands in the opening Group D match at Euro 2025.
We are going for a 4-0 win for the Netherlands, which according to the top football betting sites in the UK, is available at odds of 9/1.
Prediction: Wales 0-4 Netherlands – 9/1
Wales vs Netherlands betting tips
- Wales vs Netherlands betting tip 1: Netherlands to win by 2+ goals and also have 6+ corners
The Netherlands are expected to pick up a comfortable victory in their Women’s Euro 2025 opener against Wales on Saturday.
In their four prior meetings, the Netherlands have won on each occasion. Their last meeting was a 5-0 victory for the Dutch in 2017.
Netherlands have also scored at least one goal in each of their last nine matches, while Wales have won just one of their last 10 games.
A dominant performance, with the Netherlands securing 6+ corners and scoring 2+ goals, is a strong possibility.
- Wales vs Netherlands betting tip 2: Over 3.5 goals
There have been over 3.5 goals in four of the seven times that the Netherlands have played in 2025.
The Netherlands have a side stacked with quality, and the Dragons could be brushed away with ease in Luzern.

What are Wales’ chances of making it out of Group D?
The Dragons have not been given much chance of reaching the knockout stage.
According to the best betting sites in the UK, Wales have been given odds of 66/1 to win Group D. The top two teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals.
This is a long way behind the chances of England (1/1), France (7/5), and the Netherlands (4/1).
Should Wales qualify from Group D it would be a tremendous achievement at the first time of asking in the tournament’s ‘Group of Death’.
Could the Netherlands win Women’s Euro 2025?
The Netherlands are sixth favourites to win Women’s Euro 2025 at odds of 25/1.
This is behind Spain (11/10), England (4/1), Germany (9/2), France (7/1), and Sweden (12/1).
Wales have the joint-longest odds out of the 16 nations to win Euro 2025. The Dragons, alongside Poland, are at 200/1 to win the tournament.
