France

France beat Austria in the first round (1:0) thanks to an own goal scored by the Austrian defender. This was the 100^th victory for Didier Deschamps as the French head coach. Prior to that, France were on a 3-game winless run (all 3 games were tied after 90 minutes). France haven’t lost in regular time their last 12 European Championship games, with 7 wins and 5 draws.

Kylian Mbappé is to miss the game due to his broken nose. He’s likely to miss the 3^rd round, too as the recovery is about to take 15 days.

Netherlands vs France Prediction

Both teams won their first games, but it wasn’t an easy task for neither of them. France won due to an own goal scored by Austria and the Netherlands scored their decisive goal in the last 10 minutes of the game versus Poland. No one’s likely to risk in this game.

The Dutch side has played versus France twice in the Euro 2024 qualifying tournament, losing on both occasions (0:4 and 1:2). They’re unlikely to risk once again as they know too well what the French attacking players are capable of. France will lack Kylian Mbappé, so they won’t like to risk either. By the way, in the previous edition of Euro, France had two draws after winning the first game.

One point seems to be way better than a possible defeat as in this case the 3^rd round will be important.

Our prediction is a Draw at 23/10 .
