Netherlands vs France Prediction
The Netherlands came from behind to seal all three points late on in their opener against Poland on Sunday, but must now prepare for a different task entirely.
Despite the potential absence of Kylian Mbappe, France will no doubt prove the Oranje's toughest test in the group phase.
France looked dangerous, but were kept quieter than expected by Austria on Monday.
The World Cup runners up faced the Netherlands twice in qualifying for this tournament, winning both games by an aggregate scoreline of 6-1.
Without France's star man, this will surely be closer than many anticipated, but Didier Deschamps' side will be expected to prevail.
