Football Predictions
Stade De France will host an encounter between France and Netherland on Friday night as the road to Euro 2024 hits the road. France will be back in action for the first time since losing the World Cup finals to Argentina last December.
Didier Deschamps men will be led by new captain, Kylian Mbappe who was handed the hamband on Tuesday after Hugo Lloris hung his boots.
The Netherlands were also Argentina’s victims last year as they were also knocked out of the tournament by champions on penalties in the quarter finals. Now these two teams square it out on Friday at Stade De France, who will emerge with a win?
H2H / Stats
The most recent match between the pair was back in 2018 in the UEFA Nations League where France beat the Netherlands 2-1 in the first leg before losing the reverse fixture, 2-0.
Overall, these two teams have met 9 times in all competitions with the Netherlands winning three matches, losing six and drawing the rest.
At least two goals have been produced in seven of the last nine meetings between the pair in all competitions.
Team news
France will be without Hugo Lloris and Raphael Varane who retired after the Bleus lost the World Cup final to Argentina.
William Saliba and Wesley Fofana will not be part of the France team to take on the Netherlands after the pair were withdrawn from the squad due to injuries.
For the Netherlands, Frenkie De Jong is out after picking up a knock during his side’s 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the El Clasico.
Verdict
France needs to get back to winning ways and try to forget the recent loss to Argentina. On paper, they are stronger than the Netherlands and are backing Le Bleus to secure a victory on Friday.
