Prediction: 2-1
Netherlands
All eyes will be on Stade de France when France and Netherlands face each other in a highly-anticipated EURO 2024 qualifier. Les Tricolores aim to recover from the heart-breaking loss to Argentina in the World Cup final, but Friday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Didier Deschamps’ troops. The likes of Brice Samba, Wesley Fofana, and Khepren Thuram have received their first call-ups, while Mike Maignan start in goal as Hugo Lloris retired from international football.
As always, a man to watch in the home team will be PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe, who impressed at the World Cup finals. The Oranje, on the other hand, did well to make it to the World Cup quarter-finals. New boss Ronald Koeman has given Lutsharel Geertruida, Mats Wieffer, and Bart Verbruggen their first call-ups, with star players Virgil van Dijk, Memphis Depay, and Cody Gakpo making the cut as well. Given Netherlands’ attacking potential, we believe that over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Netherlands):
Netherlands are well known for the colour of their shirts. The orange colour is the symbol of the Dutch national team and that is the reason why they got a nickname the Oranje. Netherlands won the 1988 European Championship in West Germany, with the team beating the Soviet Union in the title game.
A number of top-class players were part of the Netherlands national team that won the Euro 1988 trophy, with the likes of Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Erwin Koeman all starting the match against the Soviet Union. However, many people consider Johan Cruyff the best player in the history of Dutch football. Cruyff won three European Cups with Ajax as a player and he clinched the European Cup with Barcelona as a coach.
Johan Cruyff is well known as “the father of modern football”. Netherlands participated in the World Cup final on three occasions (1974, 1978, 2010), but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy. The Oranje welcome their rivals at Amsterdam ArenA, Philips Stadion and Stadion Feijenoord.
