Netherlands vs France UEFA Nations League

With one point against France, the Netherlands could seal Germany’s Nations League relegation. That this case occurs, however, is doubtful.

It is one of the continent’s biggest traditional duels: France will face the Netherlands in the Nations League. As a result, not only are there geographical neighbors facing each other on Friday, but also two of Europe’s most venerable football nations. For footballing extra class these days, however, are only the French – the Netherlands, however, fighting against insignificance. Can the Elftal still hurt the world champion?

Betting Tips and Predictions Explained

In the betting market, the French are considered favorites. Thus, the Equipe Tricolore comes on victory rates in the range of 2.40, while the hosts are at about 3.30. This distribution already gives a rough idea of what kind of game awaits us on Friday night: an intense duel in which the French set the tone – and the Netherlands finally looks into the tube.

Why? First and foremost, because the reigning world champion has the clearly better squad available and singles out the Elftal individually clearly. On top of that, the French under Didier Deschamps are extremely experienced and can rely on proven mechanisms – a condition that the Dutch currently only dream of.

At Oranje, not only the high class player material is lost, but also the own identity. Voetball totaal was yesterday, currently looking for the new I in Dutch football. It does not bode well to meet the World Champion in this condition, which is why you should lose out as you did in the first leg – despite convincing performances in the end.

Netherlands

The last three results: 1: 1 vs. Belgium, 3-0 vs. Germany, 1: 2 vs. France

Dutch football is in transition: The golden generation with its seals, van Persies and Snejders is now history – not one of the World Cup heroes of 2010 runs more for Oranje. The footsteps left by the Dutch grandees are huge, and so far there is hardly anyone who can fill them. Worse: After undisputed world class you have to look in the Dutch squad almost with the magnifying glass.

Given these conditions, Bond Coach Ronald Koeman can be quite satisfied with the performance and results his team recently delivered. In the next-team duel with Belgium, which has risen to the top tier of nations since the third place at the World Cup, the team was honored and managed to keep the opponent’s strong offensive reasonably in check. That’s why the 1: 1 was more than okay.

An even greater success, however, the team succeeded against Germany a few days earlier: In the duel with the DFB-Eleven sat the Netherlands on counter – and the motto went up fully. Again and again, the team provoked ball losses in the center, from there swarmed Depay and Co. out. In the implementation of the counterattacks, however, there is a lack of consistency and accuracy, which is why out of numerous promising actions jumped out too little. Nevertheless, at the end of a heady 3-0 victory was to book, the home press acclaimed, as if one had pushed back into the top of the world.

But that’s not all: the Germans were inefficient and faulty, which benefited the Elftal. On the other hand, the French really radiated world class – and they lost against Hinspiel 1: 2. There, it became clear that in the Netherlands, what has already been said is missing when it comes down to it: the next golden generation – and a clear identity.

Possible list Netherlands

Koeman announced confidently that they are aiming for the group victory in the Nations League. For this it would take against the four points better placed France a threesome. In this respect, one should expect that the Bondscoach will renounce any conservation measures and the best possible starting eleven will muster – as follows:

Cillesses – van Dijk, Dumfries, de Ligt, Blind – Wijnaldum, de Roon, de Jong, Depy, Bergwijn, Babel

France

The last three results: 2: 1 vs. Germany, 2: 2 vs. Iceland, 2: 1 vs. Netherlands

It is now a common sight: the French do not really dominate their internationals, as one would expect from a world champion. But they win it – or at least they do not lose.

After four internationals as reigning world champion, the Equipe Triclore is in two wins and two draws, where the team could rely basically on the same success factors as in the World Cup: a solid defensive and individual excellence in attack – especially the former virtue not necessarily constantly through.

In the friendly match against Iceland, for example, the team’s lack of motivation was noted. In the backward movement, the team let the reins grind, and so you had to finally settle for a staid 2: 2. And in the two duels with the German national team, the French were always vulnerable and allowed the DFB-Eleven numerous opportunities.

But as already said: the bottom line, this team just does not lose. Despite not outstanding performance France took four points from the duels with Germany, and while the alarm bells are ringing at the DFB, in France are still hear the World Cup euphoria and drunkenness.

The team radiates just the self-confidence and self-image of a world champion – and continues with his recipe for success: Thanks to seven points from three Nations League games, the team confidently takes the first place, the conclusion of the tournament against the Netherlands, the team can approach relaxed , For Deschamps, therefore, the time has already begun to experiment – a luxury that his counterpart from Germany and the Netherlands can afford only conditionally.

Possible lineup France

Deschamps will race against the Elftal parts of the team and watch to bring new momentum in the success-spoiled team and even to gain new impressions. For both a high-class squad is available to him, the coach has to complain with Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial two prominent failures. These days, however, there is no squad that can hide such problems better than the French.

Lloris – SidibĂ©, Varane, Kimpebe, Pavard – Matuidi, Kant, N’Zonzi – MbappĂ©, Griezmann, Giroud
