The French team continues its Euro qualifiers with a difficult trip to the Netherlands this Friday (kick-off 8:45 p.m.). First in Group B with six points ahead of their future opponent, whom they beat 4-0 at the Stade de France in the spring, the Blues are moving forward with confidence, despite this recent defeat in Germany. Despite a massacre of injuries in defense (Koundé, Saliba, Disasi and Upamecano), Didier Deschamps has most of his strong men for this meeting. There shouldn’t be many surprises in the starting lineup even if The Team reveals great uncertainty.

If Clauss is expected to start in place of Pavard, the coach hesitates between Kolo Muani and Giroud for the forefront of the attack. The Milanese would hold the rope in this 4-3-3 where he would be supported by Coman and Mbappé, Griezmann playing a notch below with Tchouameni and Rabiot. The hinge would be made up of Konaté and Lucas Hernandez, his brother Théo taking his place on the left side. Finally, Maignant will be the starter.
