Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Netherlands vs. France at EURO 2024

Where: Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, Germany
When: Saturday, June 22, 03:00 AM

While the Netherlands showed something against Poland, we haven’t seen anything worth mentioning from France against Austria. Apart from Mbappe’s nose injury, this game was completely flat for the Gauls. If they continue to play like this in the upcoming games, we won’t see them on the throne, that’s for sure.

Netherlands vs. France Preview

Netherlands

Oranje fell behind against Poland, but that didn’t disturb them. The 1988 EURO champs have bounced back pretty quickly, showing resilience and a winning mentality despite having certain problems in the attack.

Ronald Koeman’s decision to put in Wout Weghorst turned out to be right less than two minutes after the big striker stepped on the pitch because he scored the winning goal, securing much-needed three points for his unit. Will he start against France? Probably yes. His contribution to the attack is massive.

The Oranje has eight wins in the past ten games, seven in the last eight meetings, and six clean sheets throughout that span. However, we need to say that when looking overall, it still seems that the attack is the better part of this crew.

France

The ego of the French strikers needs to be restrained. Otherwise, the Gauls won’t do anything in Germany. Thuram, Dembele, and Kolo Mouani looked as if they were competing to see who would ruin more attacks, especially Thuram, who was disastrous in this one with his selfishness.

Austria didn’t have luck, and that’s what saved France on Monday night. Mbappe’s injury and his miss in the early second half clearly disturbed the French team, but even that can’t be an alibi for the top contender for the trophy.

The only positive aspect of this event is that it was the French side’s third clean sheet in a row. Other than that, we can’t say too many positive things regarding the overall impression.

Netherlands vs France Head to Head

During the qualifiers, Oranje and the Gauls met in the group stage, and France was better on both occasions. After 4-0 in Paris, we saw them triumph 1-2 in Amsterdam.

Netherlands vs. France Predictions

We expect goals here because Oranje won’t be so inferior upfront like Austria. They have the quality to break France’s defense, while on the other hand, the French team has to be much better than a few nights ago. As soon as the first goal happens, things will become much more aggressive and quicker on both ends, which will result in high efficiency.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
