- Competition: European Qualifiers &— Group B
- Date: Friday, 13th, October 2023
- Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20.45 CEST
- Venue: Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam)
The spotlight will be on the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam as a thrilling encounter between two European football powerhouses, the Netherlands and France, is poised to take place as a crucial match in the EURO qualifiers.
Following a disappointing display in the UEFA Nations League, wherein they suffered defeats in the semifinals and the bronze medal match against Italy 2-3, the Netherlands national team has restored their self-assurance by securing two significant wins in the September qualifying period. They triumphed over Greece 3-0 on home soil and staged a comeback victory against Italy 2-1. With a total of nine points, obtained from three wins and one loss in four qualifying games, Ronald Koeman’s team currently occupies the second position in Group B. They trail the frontrunners, France, by six points, who inflicted the Netherlands’ sole defeat in the tournament.
France has rebounded impressively after their heartbreaking loss to Argentina in the World Cup final. They have won all of their qualification matches and have not allowed any goals. Currently, they are the clear leaders in Group B, along with Scotland and Portugal, who also have a perfect record in the EURO 2024 qualifications. With a comfortable six-point lead over Greece, France is almost guaranteed a spot in the final tournament in Germany next year.
Netherlands vs France Betting Tips: BTTS
Without a doubt, the Orange Tulips will be motivated to seek retaliation against the Gallic Roosters for the painful 0-4 loss on the first day of the qualifying campaign. There is no better opportunity to do so than in front of their dedicated fans. However, achieving a positive outcome against one of the top EURO contenders will be an extremely challenging task. Additionally, the Dutch team is currently troubled by their recent performance at home, having suffered two defeats in their last three matches and conceding an astonishing seven goals. Therefore, we have serious doubts that their defensive situation will improve against one of the world’s most formidable attacking forces.
France, armed with Mbappе and several other offensive figures, has the potential to wreak havoc on rival defenses, and the Netherlands is no exception. However, it’s fair to acknowledge that it’s not all rosy for the world’s runners-up, as they have exhibited signs of vulnerability on their travels, managing only three wins in their last nine away fixtures while keeping just two clean sheets during that span. With an abundance of attacking firepower in the mix, it’s nearly impossible to imagine a different scenario unfolding, except for a captivating match filled with goals at both ends.

Netherlands team news
Coach Ronald Koeman is grappling with numerous absences, including key first-team players like Sven Botman, Matthijs de Ligt, Frenkie de Jong, Steven Berhuis, and Noa Lang &— all sidelined due to injuries. These personnel issues couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Netherlands, who are striving to secure their place in the final tournament in Germany.
Adding to the intricacy of the situation, the primary choice for the goalkeeper position, Mark Flekken, is sidelined due to illness. In his absence, Nick Olij, the goalkeeper from Sparta Rotterdam, has received his maiden call-up to the national team, but the responsibility between the goalposts against the Gallic Roosters is likely to fall on Bart Verbruggen from Brighton.

France team news
Unlike his counterpart, the French manager, Didier Deschamps, faces fewer dilemmas due to absentees, but even so, he won’t have his regular defensive duo, Jules Kounde and Dayot Upamecano, at his disposal. To fill the void, the talented Castello Lukeba and Malo Gusto received their first-ever call-ups.
The predicament takes a more dire turn as the defensive ranks of the Gallic Roosters will also have to do without Arsenal’s center-back, William Saliba, who has decided to step down from national team duties for the October qualification cycle due to a foot injury.
