Netherlands W vs France W prediction: EUROPE: Euro Women betting tips on match 2025-07-12 19:00.
[p]After being thrashed 4-0 by England on matchday two, the Netherlands know that another defeat against France would see them exit a UEFA European Women’s Championship at the group stage for just the second time in their history. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After sweeping Wales aside on matchday one (3-0), defeat against England brought the Netherlands back down to earth with a bang as they conceded four goals in a Euros finals match for the first time ever. The Oranje need at least a draw here to have any chance of progressing to the knockout stage, and there should be plenty of confidence they can get it considering they’ve not lost back-to-back matches in over a year. A host of qualification permutations make their quest to reach the knockouts difficult, but their most realistic quarter-final route is to better England’s result against Wales in the group’s other game.[/p]
[p]France are in a much more comfortable position atop Group D after they backed up a matchday one victory over holders England by beating Wales 4-1 last time out. Les Bleues didn’t have things all their own way against stubborn opposition in that success despite the healthy scoreline, perhaps owing to the eight changes made to their starting XI. Laurent Bonadei’s side should therefore be fresh to collect the point they need to win the group, while even a loss by fewer than three goals will definitely seal the consolation prize of a runners-up spot.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
