The Netherlands endured a real scare in their come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Poland in the opening Group D fixture. Goals from Cody Gakpo and towering substitute Wout Weghorst gave Ronald Koeman's side a vital three points, which could prove essential given their recent record against Friday's opponents is pretty abject – one win their last eight encounters.
France, meanwhile, will make a late decision on Kylian Mbappe's availability after the captain and all-round superstar broke his nose heading the back of Kevin Danso's granite skull in les Bleus' 1-0 victory over Austria. The Real Madrid-bound man may sit out this game as an entire nation keeps fingers firmly crossed the world's pre-eminent star can return later in the tournament, almost certainly with a protective face mask.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch Euro 2024 wherever you are.

How to watch Netherlands vs France for FREE in the UK
Use a VPN to watch FREE from anywhere
Netherlands vs France is free on BBC One and BBC iPlayer for viewers in the UK. Outside the UK? No problem. If you're away from home and want to tune into iPlayer as normal, you can use a VPN so that you don't get blocked by the broadcaster.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there but, for Euro 2024, FourFourTwo recommends:
NordVPN is basically a tap-in:
1. Install it: NordVPN
2. Fire it up and choose your service. So, if you want to watch a UK streaming service, choose the UK server.
3. Enjoy the game. Open up the iPlayer and watch the stream.
Netherlands vs France live stream: team news
The Netherlands will be delighted to report having no fresh injury worries after their opening fixture against Poland, especially considering the enforced absences of Teun Koopmeiners, Frenkie de Jong and Maarten de Roon pre-tournament.
Brian Brobbery's hamstring has improved and the 22-year-old Ajax forward is no back in training. The only selection headache for Koeman is whether he wants to select 6ft 5in Weghorst from the off after the former Manchester United striker's instant impact a few days ago.
Didier Deschamps has decided to name with Mbappe on the bench in his France starting XI, with Marcus Thuram continuing at centre-forward and Antoine Griezmann off the left.
Real Madrid Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni are fully fit, the latter starts, with N'Golo Kante keeping his place after a player-of-the-match display against Austria in which the one-man midfield rolled back the years.
