NED vs FRA Match Preview
The Euro 2024 favorites, the Netherlands and France, started the tournament with a win. While the Netherlands beat Poland by 2-1 after getting behind, France beat Austria thanks to an own goal.
The Netherlands are one of the strongest teams in this tournament, having won seven out of the last eight fixtures (lost once) and scored at least four goals in four matches. The 1988 Euro champions are dreaming of a great tournament to lift their second Euro trophy. The France game in the group stage is going to be a vital match for the Orange, as the positive result will boost their confidence for this tournament.
Meanwhile, France may miss Kylian Mbappe in the upcoming game as the new Real Madrid signee broke his nose in their tournament opener. Although the Blues didn't have a strong start in Euro 2024, they have won 11 out of 15 fixtures since 2023 (drew twice and lost twice). Although Mbappe’s absence can affect them in big games like against the Netherlands, Les Blues have many quality players to challenge the Dutch.
