Netherlands vs France Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Euro 2024
Two of the best teams in the group battle out for the top spot.
Netherlands secured a 2-1 victory over Poland in the opening match starting their campaign with a win. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst led them to a much-needed victory after conceding the opening goal.
This match will be crucial for both teams as a loss here will lead to significant changes in the Group D table. Ronald Koeman will be aiming to change his side’s record against France after losing in the previous two matches against them.
France kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign with a victory against Austria in the opening match. They secured a narrow win after missing several chances to extend their lead, ending the match in a tense position. Unfortunately, Les Bleus will be without Kylian Mbappe for upcoming matches due to a broken nose.
Didier Deschamps’ decision to bring back N’Golo Kante proved to be a fantastic one, as he delivered a masterful performance in the first match.

Player to Watch
Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands)
Virgil van Dijk remains a crucial player for the national team having led them to victory over Poland in the opening match. Van Dijk delivered a masterclass to limit their opponents’ clear-cut chances. His ability to read the game and make timely interceptions has made him one of the best in the world.
He has been a rock in the Netherlands defence, making over 69 appearances and scoring nine goals so far. Additionally, Van Dijk is a threat from set-pieces due to his tall physique, which helps him score goals.
Antoine Griezmann (France)
With Kylian Mbappe injured, Griezmann will be the danger man for the Dutch, given his excellent performance during the season with Atletico Madrid. He made 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring 24 goals and providing eight assists.
His ability to link up play and create chances for his fellow attackers makes him a crucial member of the team. Griezmann has also gained valuable experience, making 130 appearances since breaking into the national side in 2014.
