Team News

Netherlands
France
  • Brian Brobbey remains an injury concern for Ronald Koeman.
  • Kylian Mbappe broke his nose in Monday's opener against Austria, and may sit this one out before returning to play against Poland with a mask, though he has travelled with his teammates to Leipzig.
  • In the absence of his captain, Didier Deschamps could hand a start to Bradley Barcola on the left-hand side of his attack.

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.
