After two thrilling quarter finals battle in Euro 2008, the underdogs prevailed where Germany beat Portugal 3-2 and Turkey beat Croatia 1-1 after a penalty shoot out.

Now, we are into our third quarter finals where Netherlands, the favorites will take on Guus Hiddink Russia the underdogs. Another upset on the cards?

Netherlands had an easy first round where they beat World Champions Italy 3-0 and then humbled France 4-1. Holland wrapped up their group game against Romania with a 2-0 victory.

On the contrary, Russia had to fight to their last group match. Russia lost 1-4 to Spain in the opening match. A 1-0 victory over Greece followed by a 2-0 win over Sweden sailed the Russian to the quarter finals.

Although the Dutch remained favorite for this match, Russia’s sparkling 2-0 victory over Sweden in Innsbruck on Wednesday has made this match an interesting one.

With Ruud van Nistelrooy on fire in attack for Netherlands, Russia can call on revitalise Roman Pavlyuchenko to get the goals.

It seems that teams that were rested well coming to the quarter finals hasn’t fared well thus far with both loosing in the likes of Portugal and Croatia. I hope the same does not happen to the Dutch.

In short, i will go for a Netherlands win. 2 goal victory maybe?

Changes

• Holland Marco van Basten is set to make nine changes to the team that started against Romania.
• Russia coach Guus Hiddink is expected to name an unchanged line up to the one that performed well in their 2-0 win over Sweden
