Netherlands vs France Prediction & Betting tips
On 16.11. The UEFA Nations League is also in Group 1 in Group A in the hot final phase. In the fight for first place or even against relegation, we await the duel against Holland. France. France is currently enthroned on the supposedly safe first place. But two victories of the “Oranje” and the Netherlands would suddenly be at the top. Everything is possible for the Dutch. Because although first place with two victories in range, is also still the descent into the league B into consideration. If both games against France and Germany are lost, the surprise would be perfect.
For the game starting at 19:45 on Friday, the reigning World Champion is the favorite in the game.
Netherlands:
After the missed World Cup participation Coach Koeman can be quite satisfied with the performances of the Elftal shown so far. Also in Holland a change was initiated. New players like As Matthijs De Ligt or Frenkie De Jong are available and could in the medium term become a core element of the national team.
In Group 1 of League A they are currently in second place. With two remaining games for Holland, both the ascent and the descent is still possible. The results so far were quite satisfactory. Although they had to be defeated in the first leg of the world champion from France with 1: 2. But a 3: 0 against the world champion of 2014 calmed the mind again quickly. That success was sometimes due to the luck of the game, but not undeserved. In the test match against Peru (2: 1), the new generation showed its good side. The 24-year-old Memphis Depay of Olympique Lyon met twice. Three years younger Frenkie De Jong from Ajax Amsterdam opened the scoring. Another friendly against Belgium ended 1-1.
Now it is time to stand against the world champion. The motivation would have to be high, as both up and down, all placements are still open.
France:
After the World Cup in Russia it was hard to judge the World Champion correctly. The performance slump, how it z. B. experienced in Croatia, remained largely out. None of the four contested games have been lost. Germany drew 0-0 at the opening of the UEFA Nations League. A win against Holland followed (2: 1). Anyone who thought that France would continue where they left off at the World Cup was better off in the friendly against Iceland. After a 0: 2 deficit succeeded only in the 90th minute minute equalizer by penalty. Of course, this was just a test match. But in the last match of the Nations League, “only” a somewhat flattering 2: 1 win against Germany succeeded. It therefore remains difficult to classify the performance of “Les Bleus” correctly.
The upcoming duel against Holland will probably give more insight. However, the fact is that Van Dijk and Co. need better performance than Iceland and Germany to take something countable. A draw is enough for France and the group victory would not be more.
The defense of Deschamps-Elf is a bit weakened. Lucas Hernandez and Samuel Umtiti will be injured due to injury. A use of Raphael Varane is also rather questionable.
