Netherlands National Football Team Vs France National Football Team Lineups is the main searching term by most of the betting lover for accurate results.
France and the Netherlands are two of Europe’s premier football nations, boasting longstanding rivalry. When they meet this Friday in Leipzig, it could determine who wins Group D.
Ronald Koeman will likely make few alterations to the Oranje side which earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Poland in their opener, save for replacing Joey Veerman with Jeremie Frimpong as their sole substitution.
France
France will look to build on their impressive 1-0 victory against Austria and are hoping that Kylian Mbappe can return to form and provide the spark needed in attack against Netherlands. Without him though, France’s defense will look towards players like Virgil van Dijk and Nathan Ake to hold off Dutch attack while Adrien Rabiot will provide deep creative role or push forward when needed – he was particularly effective protecting their backline and pushing the ball forward when Austria were playing them.
Germany’s victory against Poland means the Dutch must win against France to keep their hopes alive of qualifying. Ronald Koeman may make few alterations for this game but will keep tabs on Frenkie de Jong’s fitness after she sustained an injury during their opening match.
Koeman has several options in central defence with Matthijs de Ligt and Teun Koopmeiners available to him; either one or both may start or remain on the bench, depending on his preference. Calvin Stengs and Andries Noppert were also called up as reserve cover while goalkeeper Mike Maignan remains healthy following a full 90-minute performance against Austria.
Dutch remain second in Group D despite losing several key players due to injury during the lead-up to this tournament, and will aim for a top two finish in Group A. They remain one of only two teams without conceding a goal during this competition, but that won’t keep them out of knockout rounds.
France are clear favourites for this match and should dominate possession and create plenty of chances. The Dutch defence is weak compared to France and will struggle against players such as Antoine Griezmann and N’Golo Kante, while current injury concerns make winning this match even harder for them to achieve. Yet France have enough quality within their squad that they could cause an upset win!
Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe could return from missing France’s opening 1-0 victory against Austria with a broken nose to appear as a reserve against the Netherlands on Tuesday, provided he wears a special mask to protect his face and will forgoing surgery. On the bench will join Antoine Griezmann who will serve as armband, while Aurelien Tchouameni replaces Warren Zaire-Emery who had become disgruntled during their clash in midfield.
N’Golo Kante will be an integral figure for Les Bleus following his impressive showing in their opening match. The Chelsea midfielder could line up alongside more experienced striker Antoine Griezmann in an attacking trio up front alongside Ousmane Dembele and Adrien Rabiot; Lucas Hernandez could serve as centre-back while Theo Hernandez marauds down left-side of pitch.
Ronald Koeman faces an attack selection dilemma with Wout Weghorst and Memphis Depay both competing for starting spots in his starting eleven. Wolfsburg striker Weghorst made an argument for inclusion against Poland, scoring the match-winner; however Depay netted 50 goals against Czechia to put pressure on Weghorst’s starting place.
Ousmane Dembele became the youngest ever player to score a World Cup hat-trick at just 20 years old and Barcelona winger has continued his fine form for France since. Capable of creating opportunities for himself and teammates alike, this dynamic passer may occasionally over-elaborate on plays which create opportunities.
Inter Milan winger Marcus Thuram, son of former France legend Lillian Thuram, is one of France’s emerging talents. At 26-years-old, Marcus can easily move into tight spaces while providing an unpredictable threat when unopposed; when free, his pace can make things difficult for Dutch defences; making him an essential component of France’s attacking triumvirate with the power to change games!
Marcus Thuram
The Dutch and French national football teams will face off to determine who finishes first place in Group 4. Both sides have strong chances of taking first place; both hope to break into first position for this tournament, although France might want an edge as they’ve had success against them in previous meetings; The Dutch have just come off a 3-1 win against Austria while France eked out an win by just two goals against Poland; either team have the ability to exploit their respective strengths to take this contest by any means necessary.
The Netherlands will aim to avenge their Euro 2024 defeat with an improved performance against France in Euro 2024. Their talented squad is one of Europe’s most underrated; led by a solid defence and featuring several promising young players capable of leading them forward in future tournaments. They face tough opposition in France who boast one of Europe’s finest sides as adversaries.
Marcus Thuram will play on Sunday despite limping back from an injury sustained against Torino on Saturday. The Inter Milan winger was injured after colliding with Guillermo Maripan during a challenge, leaving discomfort in his ankle. A medical examination determined there to be no significant damage; however coach Simone Inzaghi decided to withdraw him at halftime as a precautionary measure.
Didier Deschamps will likely be delighted that Thuram stands a good chance of returning to France’s starting lineup for their match with Netherlands on Thursday, likely keeping with his same squad from Austria but making one or two minor tweaks.
Griezmann and Mbappe will both start in attack for France against Denmark on Monday, with Mbappe taking up a deeper position to support Griezmann. France are expected to employ a four-man midfield system featuring Kante at centre midfield and Adrien Rabiot on the left; according to reports Real Madrid midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery could be replaced by Aurelien Tchouameni for this matchup.
The defenders will include both veterans and younger players. AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan will start in goal and is likely to retain his spot after an impressive showing against Austria. Other members of the defence include Vermijl, Van Dijk, De Roon, Ake, Blind as well as Lineth Beerensteyn, Jeremie Frimpong and Esmee Brugts who should contribute offensively.
Didier Deschamps
The Netherlands will look to avoid repeating their Euro 2024 misery when they take on France in Group D action on Friday evening. Although La Oranje had an underwhelming tournament at Euro 2024 – failing to reach quarter-finals – they remain one of the favourites for victory and victory against one of France’s illustrious rivals could go a long way towards securing top two finish.
The Netherlands will look to build on their impressive comeback victory against Poland as well as their impressive unbeaten streak against France over 17 matches, especially considering Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose during France’s 0-0 draw with Austria and will miss this encounter. France may provide extra motivation against their hosts when Mbappe misses this one due to injury;
Mbappe remains uncertain following an injury sustained when colliding with Austrian defender Christoph Hillig. Though no surgery was needed after colliding with him, Paris Saint-Germain star and PSG star may receive a medical certificate and miss out, which could pave the way for Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud to start in his place – Giroud missed an easy chance off the bench against Austria but is always dangerous with pace making an impactful debut against an Oranje defence that has struggled mightily in recent weeks.
Deschamps has confirmed his plans to leave out Juventus defender Adrien Rabiot from his team, likely leading to Aston Villa midfielder Lucas Digne and Sevilla full back Loic Bade receiving recalls instead.
The Netherlands defence is an ongoing concern, particularly in front of goal. Mike Maignan will be responsible for keeping scores down and has proven himself as an excellent goalkeeper in previous seasons; however, this year has yet to impress him, so his performance must improve to lead them towards success. In support of Maignan will come Bart Verbruggen and Mark Flekken providing invaluable backup.
