Friday's Euro 2024 action features a heavyweight clash in Group D as the Netherlands take on France at the Red Bull Arena, with both sides aiming to secure a spot in the knockout stage.
Ronald Koeman's Netherlands showed resilience in their opening match, coming from behind to defeat Poland 2-1. Despite injury setbacks, they demonstrated attacking prowess.
France, with a strong historical edge over the Netherlands, won both qualifying encounters. They started with a narrow 1-0 win over Austria, overshadowed by Kylian Mbappé's injury concern.

The Dutch will rely on their forward strength against a solid French defence. Missing midfielders like Frenkie de Jong pose challenges, but they remain formidable.

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
