Netherlands
Brian Brobbey is back in training, as a result Koeman will have the whole squad available.
Weghorst scored the winner for the Dutch against Poland, However Depay is still expected to start.
Joey Veerman is at the risk of suspension if booked against France.
The substitutions made the difference against Poland, but Koeman is expected to go with the same XI.
Liverpool duo Virgil Van Dijk and Cody Gakpo started against Poland helping to secure the 3 points.
A win on Friday will secure a top-two finish for the Dutch.
Netherlands possible starting lineup:
Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake; Schouten, Veerman; Simons, Reijnders, Gakpo; Depay
France
Mbappe is doubtful for the game against Netherlands after he left the pitch with a broken nose.
However initial reports suggested Mbappe could play with a protective mask, but the French media reports now he will have to sit the game out.
As a result, France’s record goal scorer Olivier Giroud will likely step in for Mbappe.
Deschamps will likely start Kante again after that performance against Poland. Kante returned to starting XI after some time out.
Deschamps prefers Saliba over Konate, so the Liverpool defender will start on the bench.
France possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Thuram; Giroud
Netherlands vs. France Prediction
Both teams have a quality squad, so we can expect to see an entertaining game. A win for either team will secure a top two finish.
Mbappe’s absence will be a relief for the Dutch, but France’s defence is not easy to break.
Prediction: Netherlands 2-2 France
