Giroud and Clauss, the tricolor trend

Two days before the Euro 2024 qualifiers match between France and the Netherlands, a French eleven seems to stand out.

A victory in Amsterdam on Friday evening and the France team will have their ticket to Euro 2024 in their pocket. To do this, despite numerous absences in the defensive sector, Didier Deschamps promises to field his best team of the moment. With already real indications on the expected starting lineup against the Batavians. A 4-3-3 formation.

This Wednesday, two days before the Franco-Dutch clash, the setup carried out at Clairefontaine saw Jonathan Clauss and Olivier Giroud evolve among the starters. This at the expense of Benjamin Pavard and Randal Kolo Muani. The other uncertainty could concern the right winger position, and it is Kingsley Coman, preferred to Ousmane Dembélé, who seems to be leaving with a head start.

Maignan perfectly fit

After being spared the day before, Mike Maignan trained normally today and will therefore be the number one goalkeeper for the Blues in the Netherlands. The Hernandez brothers, Lucas and Théo, will also be there a priori, like the indestructible Antoine Griezmann, who will certainly score an 81e match in a row with the tricolor tunic on the back.

The probable eleven of the Blues in Amsterdam: Maignan – Clauss, Konaté, L. Hernandez, T. Hernandez – Griezmann, Tchouaméni, Rabiot – Coman, Giroud, Mbappé.
