MATCH PREDICTION
It is a meeting between two heavyweights of European football but arguably the best footballer in the competition, and the world, will be missing as Kylian Mbappe is suffering with a broken nose he sustained against Austria. The Netherlands had to come from behind to defeat Poland in their opening match in Hamburg on Sunday. Oranje did, though, play some genuinely enterprising stuff in that game, despite going behind. France were unconvincing but, as they so typically do at tournaments, got the job done to edge by an aggressive and enterprising Austrian side on Monday. As is often the case in group stage matches between two of the stronger nations, this one could be one where they cancel each other out and a low-scoring encounter is to be expected.
