The French team played well at the World Cup in Qatar, where they reached the final and lost in the decisive battle with Argentina only in a penalty shootout. The last was memorable, with a hat-trick by Mbappe and a double by Messi, not scored penalties by Coman and Tchouameni. We have not seen the French since then, but it is unlikely that anything will change fundamentally in the style of play of the Blues because Didier Deschamps has remained in his position. And that means that the squad selection remains the same. Under Deschamps, France has played 139 games and averaged 2.11 points per game.
Netherlands
But there are changes for the Dutch. After being relegated from the World Cup, Louis van Gaal has resigned to replace Frank de Boer, who will take over the national team on September 1, 2021. The Netherlands' unbeaten streak of 20 matches began under Louis van Gaal. Under him, the Orange have never lost in regulation time. In Qatar, the Netherlands crashed out after a penalty shootout against Argentina, who also beat the French in the final. Van Gaal's replacement was Ronald Koeman, who had already worked with the national team from March 2018 to November 2019. As a result, nothing worked out for Koeman in Catalonia, and here comes a new arrival. Under Koeman, the team played 20 matches, 11 of which won with five draws and four defeats.
Expert Betting Tips
France would like to start the new cycle with a confident home win, especially since the Blue's opponents are the Dutch national team, which in recent years can be called a convenient opponent for the French. The Dutch have a new coach; it is not that they shook up the squad a lot, but there have already been some personnel changes, and it is not certain that these changes are the last. In any case, the new coach is additional motivation for the team to prove themselves, and to get points in France will be possible only by scoring. We believe that in the upcoming game, the teams will exchange goals, and France will win.
