Euro 2024 heats up with a clash of titans in Group D as the Netherlands take on France at the Red Bull Arena, aiming to secure a spot in the Round of16.
Ronald Koeman's Netherlands started strong, coming from behind to defeat Poland 2-1, with Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst the heroes in their opener.
France, led by Didier Deschamps, claimed a narrow 1-0 win against Austria despite a scare when Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose. Thus, the new Real Madrid forward will be missed by France in this match.

Netherlands vs. France lineups & team news
There are no major injury concerns for Ronald Koeman and the Netherlands.
Wout Weghorst made a strong case for being elevated to the starting lineup when he starred as the matchwinner against Poland, but the former Wolfsburg and Manchester United target man has to be an impact sub once more, as Memphis Depay leads the line. Memphis is just five goals behind Robin van Persie's all-time Netherlands record of 50 international goals.
Jeremie Frimpong comes into the lineup and looks to be playing as a right-sided forward. Joey Veerman drops to the bench.
Netherlands starting lineup (4-3-3): Verbruggen (GK) — Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake — Schouten, Simons, Reijnders — Frimpong, Depay, Gakpo
There's good news for France regarding Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann. Mbappe is able to be a substitute despite his broken nose, while Griezmann is fit to start and takes the captain's armband.
Didier Deschamps gives the nod to Marcus Thuram ahead of veteran striker Olivier Giroud in attack.
France starting lineup (4-3-3): Maignan (GK) — Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez — Rabiot, Kante, Tchouameni — Dembele, Thuram, Griezmann
Netherlands vs. France prediction
- Score prediction: Netherlands 0-0 France
France will notably miss Mbappe's dynamic presence, which was crucial in their previous victory against Austria. This absence could impact their attacking prowess, potentially limiting their ability to break through the Dutch defence.
On the other hand, the Netherlands have shown strong offensive capabilities in recent matches. However, they face a formidable French back line led by coach Deschamps, known for their resilience and ability to stifle opponents.
Given Mbappe's absence and France's defensive strength, the match may likely be a tightly contested affair with both teams struggling to score. A goalless draw is a plausible outcome, reflecting the defensive solidity on display from both sides.
