France will host the Netherlands in Group B’s first round of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualification. This promises to be an exciting match, as both teams are strong contenders for the qualifying spots. The French side will be looking to continue their good form from the just-ended World Cup, when they finished as runners-up after a tense 90 minutes plus extra time finals. The Netherlands, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing performance in the World Cup. A head-to-head comparison of the two teams in their last five EC-Qualification clashes shows that France managed to get 4 wins, while in 1 match, the Netherlands snatched three points. This and France playing at home gives them an edge over the Netherlands.

FRANCE
France will be looking to build on their performance at last year’s World Cup, where they narrowly lost to eventual champions Argentina in the final. They will also be hoping to make up for their disappointing performance in the Nations League where they failed to make it out of the group stage. The current France team looks to be a totally different side that previously lost to the likes of Denmark and Croatia in the previous Nations League.
In France’s last 7 matches, they have won 5 matches, 1 draw, and a loss. They scored 14 goals during this run giving an average of 2.20 goals per match. With the likes of Kylian Mbappe in their attacking ranks, Didier Deschamps should be optimistic about starting their Nation league Qualification on a positive note.
NETHERLANDS
The Netherlands was looking unstoppable in the last edition of the Nations League. They seemed to have everything going for them and were tipped by many to showcase this quality in the Qatar World Cup. However, they couldn’t replicate that form in the World Cup and were knocked out by the Argentine outfit who eventually won the World Cup. Some will say that this was always their destiny, but others feel that they could have done much better. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see how they fare in this tournament.
The Netherlands has one of the longest unbeaten forms in this tournament, following their 16 unbeaten competitive matches. They had 11 wins and 5 draws in these 16 matches and scored an average of 2.34 goals per match. Making their first trip to Stade De France is not an easy task, but the Netherlands is a side you can underestimate.
