Here's a look at the Netherlands vs Georgia team news, live stream details and our prediction for the game. 

The Netherlands vs Georgia: International friendly preview

The Netherlands will come into their final warm-up game before the Euro 2020 on the back of a 2-2 draw against Steve Clarke's Scotland at the Estadio Algarve. Goals from Oostende centre-back Jack Hendry and Hibernian striker Kevin Nisbet for Scotland were cancelled out by a brace from Lyon forward Memphis Depay. The draw extended their unbeaten record to three games but Frank de Boer will be hoping that his men enter into the major tournament with a victory against Georgia.

Meanwhile, Georgia beat Mirel Radoi's Romania 2-1 on Wednesday at the Ilie Oana Stadium. Second-half goals from Seraing forward Georges Mikautadze and Cartagena midfielder Giorgi Aburjania sealed the deal for Willy Sagnol's side. Ranked 91st in the world, the Georgians have struggled in recent times with Wednesday’s victory ending a run of eight matches without a win.
