Will France extend their winning streak at the Johan Cruyff Arena? Or can the Netherlands halt Didier Deschamps’ men on home soil?
The Netherlands suffered a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of the French on Matchday 1 back in March, with Kylian Mbappe bagging a brace in Paris.
Since then, however, Koeman’s side have notched three successive qualifying victories, defeating Gibraltar (3-0), Greece (3-0) and Ireland (2-1).
It is also worth noting that the Dutch compete in the Nations League finals back in June, losing 4-2 against Croatia in the semi-finals before losing 3-2 to Italy in the third-place playoff.
That said, the Netherlands have lost just three of their previous 25 home games across all competitions, highlighting their strength on home soil.
As for France, they have won all five of their Euro 2024 qualifiers, defeating the Netherlands, Gibraltar and Greece while claiming two victories over Ireland.
Not only have Les Bleus scored 11 goals, but they have also kept five clean sheets, joining Portugal as the only teams in Euro 2024 qualifying with 100% clean sheet records.
Despite their dominance in Group B, France suffered a 2-1 defeat in a friendly against Germany last time out, with Antoine Griezmann scoring a late consolation goal.
Still, Deschamps’ men have lost just four of their previous 45 outings across all competitions, so they will back themselves to avoid defeat on Friday.
Head-to-head: France have won four of their last five meetings with the Netherlands, scoring 11 goals while keeping three clean sheets.
The historical head-to-head record is more even, however. France have beaten the Netherlands 15 times over the years, while the Dutch have claimed 11 victories.
Team news: Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven, Ajax’s Brian Brobbey and Chelsea’s Ian Maatsen could earn their first Netherlands caps on Friday.
On the flip side, France could hand international debuts to Chelsea’s Malo Gusto and RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba, while Olivier Giroud is set to earn his 126th cap.
Friday’s clash looks destined to be a close-fought battle between two strong teams, meaning the points may have to be shared in Amsterdam.
Forebet predicts that the Netherlands and France will play out a low-scoring draw, with both sides netting under 1.5 goals.
