Match Preview

The Netherlands and France will meet for the fourth time at the Euros when they clash in Group D on Friday, June 21st, 2024, at 7:00 PM. France holds the upper hand in their previous encounters, having prevailed on penalties in the quarter-finals of the 2016 tournament.

Both teams enter this match undefeated at Euro 2024. France, the pre-tournament favorites, have won both of their matches, while the Netherlands have drawn one and won one. A win for either side would secure a place in the round of 16.

There is one notable absence from the France starting XI named by manager Didier Deschamps: star forward Kylian Mbappe. No reason has been given for his exclusion, but it is a significant blow to France's hopes of victory.
