Netherlands vs France match preview

Netherlands will be looking to continue their solid but unspectacular run of games as they aim for a fourth straight win in the Euro 2024 qualifiers but, with an eye on the runners-up spot, Ronald Koeman’s side will be wary of a French team who have won all their group games so far. 

The Oranje haven’t won in their last three home matches but they will draw some hope from their impressive record at The Johan Cruyff stadium against France with eight wins and two draws from 13 games. Frankie De Jong, Cody Gakpo, Matthijs De Ligt and Memphis Depay will miss this tie but the Dutch can rely on class defenders like Virgil Van Dijk and Nathan Ake. Promising youngster Xavi Simons will deputise for Frankie De Jong in the middle.

France’s perfect record in the group so far means they are on the verge of qualifying for yet another European Championship but may well be suffering a hangover after losing last year’s World Cup to Argentina. 

That said, after bagging a brace in his last encounter with the Netherlands, Mbappe will surely be looking to add to his goal tally. Paul Pogba’s international career looks to be over after a positive drugs test so the question is, can Real Madrid stars Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduerdo Camavinga replicate the Pogba and Kante era?

France are just one win away from qualifying for the 2024 Euros. Will they prevail?
