England haven’t a victory against the Netherlands since 1982. The triumph against Germany in Berlin certainly contributed to the confidence of the team and they are able to continue their winning streak against rival shaken. England won all matches on home soil since September 2014 and therefore the fans are hoping for an eighth consecutive victory.
Fraser Forster returned to the national team, but failed to keep his net dry after conceded two goals against Germany but England demonstrated outstanding performance in the last half hour to secure victory after goals from Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Eric Dier. It seems that Hodgson finally has enough quality strikers who can guarantee a good result in France this summer, but there are still a lot of work that coach should do in defense, although the team clean sheet in six of their last seven home games.

England are still looking for their first triumph against the Netherlands in this century and, judging by their current form, we can determine the home as favorites in the upcoming clash. Netherlands are far from performance during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when they finished on Third place and will be very difficult to stop the goal machines Kane and Vardy, so expect the success for “The Three Lions”.
