Match Preview
France enters the upcoming clash with confidence after securing a crucial 1-0 victory against Austria in their opening match of Euro 2024. Despite facing an improved Austrian side, Didier Deschamps' team managed to earn three points. However, France needs to improve their conversion rate as they had several scoring opportunities, totaling 2.09 expected goals (xG), but only managed to score once against Patrick Pentz. With Mbappe sidelined due to a broken nose, it raises questions about France's attacking strategy for the next game.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands continue to impress their supporters with positive results, as evidenced by their 2-1 win in the opening match. Although they secured victory late in the game, Ronald Koeman's team showed dominance throughout the match. Their only vulnerability appears to be in defense, despite boasting players from some of the strongest clubs worldwide. Against Poland, they allowed seven shots on target, with Bart Verbruggen making crucial saves to prevent conceding.
Goaloo Prediction
Despite being considered the underdog, we have full confidence that the Netherlands will not lose in the upcoming clash. Under Ronald Koeman's guidance, the Dutch team has shown a commendable level of play, consistently achieving their goals and minimizing losses. Moreover, France has failed to win any of their last 5 matches when Mbappe was absent from the starting lineup (and he is expected to miss the upcoming match entirely). We predict that the game will end with a 1-1 scoreline.
Pick: Netherlands will not lose
