What are the chances of England facing Holland?

Both teams reached the semi-finals of the European Nations League last time. England lost while the Netherlands won. They are both in Pot 1 of League A. Hence, they are unable to play each other and England will breathe a sigh of relief of having to not play the Netherlands.

Netherlands have a lot of good players in Depay, Virgil Van Dijk, Gini Wijnaldum, Matthijs de Ligt. They will no doubt make a long way into the tournament and will face England if both teams keep qualifying.

What are the chances of England facing Switzerland?

Switzerland reached the semi finals like England last time. They too like the English lost the semis to Portugal. So the teams faced off in a third place match. The match ended in a goal less draw. After that it went to a penalty shootout which England won 6-5.

They will not be able to face each other as they are both in the Pot 1 of League A.

What are the chances of England facing Croatia?
