The Netherlands' campaign got off to the perfect start against Wales with a 3-0 win.

Their all-time top scorer Vivianne Miedema also scored her 100th international goal in the match too.

A win this evening for the Dutch would secure them knockout football but they will have to down the defending champions in the process.

In FourFourTwo's opinion the game will end in a 1-1 draw..
