The Netherlands started their World Cup qualifying campaign still reeling from failing to make it to the summer's European Championships in France. After opening with a 1-1 draw against Sweden, they followed up with a 4-1 victory over Belarus last Friday, and will be hoping to make it two wins in a row when they play host to the Euro 2016 hosts at the Amsterdam ArenA on Monday.

However, it is sure to be a difficult task for Danny Blind’s men. France may have stuttered in a goalless draw with Belarus last month, but they sit joint-top of the qualifying group after thrashing Bulgaria 4-1 in Paris last week. Didier Deschamps’ side are without doubt one of the top teams in international football at the moment, and they have reason to be confident heading into this encounter with a Dutch team still on the hunt for consistency.
These sides last met back in a friendly in March, with France running out 3-2 winners in a thoroughly entertaining contest. The neutral will certainly be hoping for more of the same on Monday.
