The Netherlands will be favourites to win the game but as it is Wales' first major tournament game, they are a little bit of an unknown.

Jess Fishlock, who is on FourFourTwo's 100 best players list, is a player the Netherlands will need to watch out for, she is absolutely lethal in front of goal.

But the Netherlands have stars too like Vivianne Miedema and Esme Brugts.

In FourFourTwo's opinion the game will end in a 2-0 win for the Netherlands.
