Netherlands take on France in the highlight of Friday’s matches at Euro 2024, with Kylian Mbappe likely to miss the game through injury after suffering a gruesome broken nose against Austria on Monday.
The winner of that game will take control of Group D with Poland v Austria the afternoon kick-off, while Slovakia and Ukraine kick-off the second round of fixtures for Group E at 2pm.

Austria to Beat Poland
Despite their narrow defeat in the opening match against the world champions, France, Austria looked well-organized. They were on an impressive run of six wins in their last seven appearances before the Euros, so I am confident they will bounce back and claim three crucial points on Friday. Poland barely made it to Germany through the Nations League playoffs and focused heavily on defending in their 2-1 opening loss against the Netherlands.
Draw in Slovakia vs Ukraine
Slovakia scored early against Belgium and then relied on counter-attacks for the rest of the match, with the Red Devils missing at least four clear goal opportunities. They would be more than happy with a draw on Friday against a struggling Ukraine, who have been inconsistent for months. I expect a close match with both teams sharing the spoils.
Draw & BTTS in France vs Netherlands
France did beat the Netherlands twice in the Euro qualifiers, but this time they will be without their best player, Kylian Mbappe, who suffered a broken nose against Austria. The Netherlands have picked up great form ahead of the Euros, crushing Canada and Israel in Rotterdam, so I can see them matching Les Bleus. Both teams would remain at the top of the group with a draw here.

Both Teams To Score
France pride themselves on clean sheets and have a solid backline, but I fancy the Netherlands front line to cause a few problems with their movement in this one.
Memphis Depay didn’t have his best game against Poland but he can blow hot and cold over a matter of days so I think he will have an impact at some point, while Cody Gakpo relishes international duty. For France, the loss of Kylian Mbappe will hurt them but they still have enough ammunition to get on the scoresheet.
Memphis Depay 1.5+ Shots on Target
If there is one thing about Memphis, it is that he will not shy away from having a go. Whether that is in terms of dribbling or shooting, he will keep backing himself and that’s what makes him a dangerous player. He had four shots off target against Poland but he has a proven record and I think he will fare a little bit better against France.
That’s not to say he will score, but I think he will get a few efforts off - look out for any shots from distance - and make Mike Maignan work in goal.
Antoine Griezmann 0.5+ Shots on Target
In the absence of Mbappe, Griezmann’s role becomes that little bit more important. Not only as a provider, which he has tended to be more of of late, but as a goalscorer. He wasn’t at his best against Austria but still recorded one shot off target and had one effort blocked.
With Mbappe not there, I think that number is likely to go up and given that he scored against the Dutch in qualifying, he is probably the best bet of a France goalscorer.
Adrien Rabiot 0.5+ Fouls Committed
In Rabiot and N’Golo Kante, France have a pair of midfield disruptors to go alongside the creativity and pace of the front four. Rabiot has developed into a combative midfielder as well as a silky one in possession, and in this Deschamps team I don’t think he will shy away from any tackles and will help protect his defence by whatever means.
He committed two fouls against Austria - Kante committed one - so I think he will be at it again.
