Two titanic forces of the European game, two very familiar faces in their dugouts and two sets of egos feeling worse for wear after after nervy one-goal victories in their first round matches. But Didier Deschamps' Les Bleus remain among the favorites to win the whole caboodle.
Ronald Koeman would have been sweating when his Netherlands team went behind against Poland in their opener. Cody Gakpo got them back on level terms, but it took an 83rd-minute winner from giant super-sub Wout Weghorst to settle the tie. It's not often that the Dutch go into games as second-favorites, but this, so far, doesn't look like a vintage Oranje and one point may feel like a win against the impressive French.
Anybody with even the faintest interest in Euro 2024 won't have escaped the ongoing escapades with Kylian Mbappé and the broken nose he suffered against Austria. With the tricolour protection mask not permitted, France will have to do without their main man from the off. But he does start among the subs, so he's available if Deshcamps gets desperate...
Line ups:
Netherlands XI: Verbruggen, Dumfries, de Vrij, van Dijk, Ake, Schouten, Reijnders, Frimpong, Simons, Gakpo, Depay
France XI: Maignan, Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez, Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Dembele, Griezmann, Thuram
