Netherlands France betting tip & the best odds for the 2nd matchday of Group D
There were no surprises on the first matchday in Group D of Euro 2024. The Elftal beat Poland and the Equipe Tricolore celebrated a successful debut against the in-form Austrians. However, the results were close.
In view of this starting constellation, I didn’t have to think long about my Netherlands France betting tip. I immediately had a suitable bet in mind and am pleased that Betano is still offering a strong 1.65 for the goal of both teams.
The winning teams on the first matchday of Group D had a number of top-class chances to score. The teams are also likely to experience these moments in the second match.
In my Netherlands France prediction, I expect a brave fight for a preliminary decision in the battle for group victory, given the three points already secured in each team’s account.
An important question ahead of the group clash is whether star striker Kylian Mbappe will be fit for action. The man who will start playing for Real Madrid next season broke his nasal bone in an aerial duel.
In view of the latest statements from the medical department, it can be assumed that the best horse in the Grande Nation’s stable will be available again for the upcoming group game against the Dutch.
The goalkeeper’s absence cannot yet be ruled out: However, the bookmakers have already priced in the return of the PSG superstar when calculating the appropriate Netherlands France odds in any case.
The Netherlands – France bookmakers’ prediction
France (2.15) will start the match against the Netherlands (3.45) as slight favorites according to the odds. Depending on the bookmaker, odds of around 3.40 are available for a draw.
However, I don’t dare to bet on the outcome of the game, I’ll say that straight away. Both national teams made a strong impression at the start.
The French have more maturity and a little more stability in defense, but the Oranje’s fast attacking soccer could also pose problems for France

Analysis: Netherlands vs. France
It took a long time for the Flying Dutchmen to finally turn the game around against Poland. Despite dominating the game, Adam Buksa shocked Ronald Koeman’s team. Cody Gakpo equalized a few moments later.
It was only after Wout Weghorst was substituted that Oranje made it 2:1. Holland scored a total of 21 goals. Wojciech Szczesny kept his Poland in the game for a long time. The Netherlands will also show their attacking approach against France
The Netherlands never takes a passive role in any international match. The goal for a 1.37 is in my eyes the perfect odds for any combination ticket on Friday. They have scored in 13 games in a row.
Just under a year and a half ago, no goals were scored against France in the European Championship qualifier in a 4-0 defeat in Paris. However, the Netherlands also had a few chances in this match, including a penalty missed by Memphis Depay in stoppage time
At the moment Depay, Gakpo and Co. are greedy. A number of top chances against Poland and three 4-0 victories against Scotland, Canada and Iceland before the World Cup.
Although Koeman’s team lost against Germany, they also had some dangerous moments in the 2-1 defeat.
Another hot number: the Netherlands have gone six of their seven games before the European Championship without conceding a goal, with only Germany netting twice
Analysis of odds
The goal from both teams is still clearly the best odds for France against the Netherlands. There are a number of reasons for this: Holland were vulnerable without the ball in some moments against Poland in the opener and they rarely keep a clean sheet against top nations.
At the same time, both nations can play freely on the second matchday. Three points are secured. With a draw and four points, both teams would almost certainly be through to the next round, but no one will be taking any chances in this prestigious duel.
Holland will be looking to make a statement after their two qualifying defeats, while France will also be aiming to win their group. In addition to the 4-0 win, the runners-up secured a 2-1 away win in the qualifiers. The superstar alone scored four goals.
Two courageous teams with two strong offenses, in addition to the goal of both teams, I am also looking for a goal in both halves. Betano has strong 1.75 odds for this

Super goalscorer odds for the “Grande Nation “
Since I’m generally expecting a few goals, I’m also looking at the goalscorer odds, which in view of the personnel developments across the board offer interesting Netherlands France odds.
France’s record goalscorer Olivier Giroud could slip into the starting eleven if Mbappe’s absence cannot be ruled out; he is still ahead of Antoine Griezmann (3.80), Randal Kolo Muani (3.80) and Marcus Thuram (4.00) in the French list.
For the Dutch, Depay (3.40) is the hottest property. The Netherlands also have temptingly high odds for Gakpo (3.50), Donyell Malen (4.20) and for the precious joker Weghorst (4.50).
I’ve already covered the last duels between the Netherlands and France, with the 2018 world champions coming out on top twice in qualifying. Those were just two of 30 matches in a long history between these two footballing nations.
The first meeting took place in 1908, a 4:1 win for the Dutch, who would go on to dominate the subsequent matches. France now lead the record with 15 wins to eleven, with only four draws. Therefore, the 1.33 odds for the double chance 1/2 should be mentioned at this point
3.66 goals were scored on average by the spectators. The last time the two countries played each other on the big stage was at Euro 2008, when Holland won the group stage 4:1.
France also lost out at the 2000 and 1996 European Championships. Incidentally, Oranje’s last victory came against France in the 2018 Nations League, a 2-0 win in front of a home crowd in Rotterdam
My Netherlands France tip:
After two courageous performances by France and the Netherlands, I don’t expect them to be feeling each other out. The past has shown that this duel is primarily characterized by offensive soccer. Four of the last five games have featured more than two goals, with an average of 3.66 after 30 encounters.
What impact the absence of Mbappe would have would be a key question for the outcome of the match. But I’m not going to venture into that anyway. Due to the fact that there has hardly ever been a draw between these nations, also due to the many goals, I would tend to suggest double chance 1/2.
First and foremost, however, I expect goals and with the top offensives and the numerous chances in the first match for both teams, every fan camp should be able to cheer at least one goal.
Accordingly, my Netherlands France betting tip is: Both teams to score at least one goal each
