• The Panel Pick 3: Either Team To Win In Extra-Time - 5/1 With Bet365

Netherlands and England meet in Dortmund on Wednesday night for a place in Sunday's Euro 2024 final in Berlin.

England are the only team left whose name isn't engraved on the Henri Delaunay trophy, but that could change this week.

Or will history repeat itself for the Dutch, who won their first and only Euro title in Germany 36 years ago?

The Dutch are outsiders on the football betting sites to win the tournament, while England are second favourites behind Spain. 

Both managers have history in this fixture. At Wembley in Euro 1996, Gareth Southgate was at the heart of England's defence, when they beat Netherlands 4-1 to secure top spot in Group A.

It was revenge for the previous meeting three years earlier in a World Cup qualifier, when current Dutch boss Ronald Koeman escaped a red card for his challenge on David Platt, which could have led to a penalty instead of a free-kick on the edge of the box. 

Koeman, who admits he should have been sent off, later scored his side's second goal to all but end England's hopes of qualifying for the 1994 World Cup in the United States.

But which manager will lead his country out at the final? The Three Lions (17/10) start as slight favourites on the best betting sites, while the Dutch are 23/10 to win the semi-final in normal time.

Netherlands Vs Turkey Prediction: Second-Half Drama

With a place in Sunday's final at stake, we're expecting a cagey affair in Dortmund. 

Both sides will naturally be cautious in the early stages and we might have to wait until the second half before one side blinks. 

England haven't scored a first-half goal since Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 1-1 draw with Denmark in the group stage. 

Two of their three goals since then have come in the second half with Kane scoring the other in the first minute of extra-time to beat Slovakia. 

The Dutch have saved their goals for the second half of games at Euro 2024. 

Seven of the last eight goals Netherlands have scored in this tournament have come after half-time. 

The final 15 minutes have seen 27 goals scored in Germany and the Dutch have accounted for four of them. England have scored twice in the 76th minute or later.

Our experts on The Panel are going for the second half to be the highest-scoring half.

Netherlands Vs England Prediction: Gakpo To Strike Again

Cody Gakpo will feel he should be the clear leader in the race to win the Golden Boot award at Euro 2024.

The Netherlands and Liverpool forward missed out on a fourth goal when his country's winner against Turkey in the quarter-final was given to defender Mert Muldur. 

Gakpo remains on three goals, but he will be keen to make up for missing out on that goal by continuing his impressive form at major tournaments. 

The 25-year-old is the favourite on betting apps to be Euro 2024's leading scorer, after finding the net three times at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. 

Gakpo has a habit of being in the right place at the right time to score important goals for his country.

Netherlands Vs England Prediction: Extra-Time Needed

If England have taught us anything in this tournament, it's to be prepared for a long night. 

The Three Lions required extra-time in both their knockout games to get past Slovakia and Switzerland.

The Swiss quarter-final went the distance before Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the winning penalty in Dusseldorf on Saturday. 

The Dutch should be fresher as they have played an hour less football than Gareth Southgate's side. 

Their last-eight win over Turkey was the only quarter-final that didn't need extra-time or penalties to determine the winner. 

England are 10/1 to win in extra-time and book their place in their second successive Euros final, while the Dutch are 12/1 to win in extra-time.

The Panel are happy to hedge their bets and opt for either side to win in extra-time which can be backed at 5/1 with Bet365.
