After comfortably topping Group C, the Netherlands enter the round of 16 with high hopes after missing out in the 2016 edition.
The Orange started the campaign with a 3-2 victory over Ukraine and recorded a total of five goals without reply against Austria and North Macedonia. Czech Republic, in comparison, claimed third spot in Group D and qualified as one of the best four third placed teams.
