In Matchday 3 of Group D at the UEFA U-21 European Championship, the Netherlands will face Ukraine at the 1. FC Tatran Stadium in Prešov. The two sides have met seven times before. During the group stage of Euro 2006, the Blue and Yellows won 2-1 in Águeda, Portugal, thanks to goals from Artem Milevskyi and Ruslan Fomin. In the final of that tournament, the Dutch took revenge in Porto with a 3-0 victory, featuring a brace from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. In the playoff round of the 2011 qualification, both teams earned away wins — 2-0 in Kyiv and 3-1 in Rotterdam. Ukrainian defender Serhiy Kryvtsov scored twice within the first seven minutes of the away leg. In 2012, the teams played to a goalless draw in a friendly. During the Euro 2019 qualifiers, they shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Obolon Arena, but the Dutch triumphed 3-0 in Doetinchem, with Richairo Živković playing a role in every goal.

The Dutch have failed to advance past the group stage only twice. At Euro 2000, the U-21 squad opened with a win but failed to earn any more points. In the previous tournament, they drew all three group matches. Ahead of the current competition, the Flying Dutchmen went unbeaten in 10 straight games, kept six clean sheets, and scored at least twice in eight of those matches.

Ukraine has failed to reach the U-21 Euro playoffs only once in three previous appearances — at the 2011 tournament in Denmark. Under Pavlo Yakovenko, the team earned just one point and scored a single goal. Leading up to this championship, the Blue and Yellows had won just one of their previous seven matches. However, Unai Melgosa’s men managed to defeat Spain 1-0 in a friendly.
