Netherlands vs France Football Prediction: Mbappe is hard to stop.

France and the Netherlands are the two strongest teams in Group B of the EURO 2024 qualifiers. Unsurprisingly, they occupy the top two positions in the group and are close to reaching the finals. The French team has 15 points after 5 wins out of 5 matches. Meanwhile, the Netherlands has only played 4 matches, winning 3 and suffering their only defeat against France in the first leg.

Kylian Mbappe scored two goals in the opening match of the qualifying round between the two teams. The French captain has four goals in five appearances. The attacking stars of the reigning World Cup runners-up are all in good form upon returning to their national teams. Coach Didier Deschamps has plenty of options.

Mbappe was in good form during the EURO 2024 qualifiers.

In their most recent match against Ireland, the French team unleashed 25 shots. Across all five qualifying matches, France have taken a total of 98 shots (29 on target) and have yet to concede a goal. The defeat in the 2022 World Cup final has had absolutely no negative impact on Les Bleus' consistent form.

The Netherlands are in a difficult position, even though they are playing at home. Besides having a lower-quality squad than their opponents, coach Ronald Koeman's team also lacks their strongest players for tonight's match. They are missing several key players due to injury, including the most important names: Memphis Depay, Cody Gakpo, and Jurrien Timber.

In the first leg, the Netherlands only lost to Mbappe. They controlled possession equally and created chances comparable to France. However, repeating that in the return match with a makeshift squad is a very difficult task for Coach Koeman's team.

Predicted lineups for Netherlands vs France

Netherlands: Verbruggen; De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake; Dumfries, De Roon, Veerman, Blind; Simons, Weghorst, Malen

France: Maignan; Pavard, Konate, L. Hernandez, T. Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud

Prediction: Netherlands 0-2 France
