France vs Netherlands Prediction & Pick

It's worth noting right off the bat that these teams will not look exactly the same on Friday as the they did in the World Cup. French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has retired and Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong is out with a hamstring injury. The Dutch are also led by a new manager in Ronald Koeman.

The French are still a deep and talented team led by the likes of new captain Kylian Mbappe, though. The 24-year-old draws a great matchup on the left side of the pitch as defender Denzel Dumfries' lack of speed may come back to bite him. Mbappe will do whatever it takes to earn a victory here.

Final Score Prediction: France: 2 | Netherlands: 1
