Netherlands vs France

The Red Bull Arena in Leipzig will play host to a mouthwatering match-up as the Netherlands take on France in Friday’s final game. The Netherlands are sitting at the top of Group D of Euro 2024 because of their opening 2-1 win over Poland. The Oranje did it the hard way, however, surprisingly falling behind and only winning the game late, courtesy of substitute Wout Weghorst’s first touch of the ball. Cody Gakpo got the Dutch level in the game and that’s likely to see him get another chance in attack, as his fellow starting forwards failed to impress.

France will fancy their chances here after a battling 1-0 win over Austria in their opening group game. Kylian Mbappe was unfortunate enough to break his nose in the game, but he’s expected to start with the aid of a face-protecting mask. The head-to-head records between these two are heavily in France’s favour, too. These two were in the same qualifying group for Euro 2024 and France won them both fair and square. They know that 3 points in this will likely see them progress as the group winners, so there’s added incentive for Les Bleus to continue their strong record.

Even though they dominated most of their game with Austria, France did concede some chances, and the Netherlands are far more likely to take advantage. The match odds on France to win are good, but we’re leaning more towards the match result and both teams to score market, with France being the selection. Almost half of the games have been decided by a single goal, so we suggest backing France to win 2-1.
