While Netherlands will look to catch up with rivals France by beating them on Friday, the road will not be easy for them. Injuries to key players like Frenkie de Jong, Memphis Depay, Cody Gakpo and Matthijs de Ligt have left the Dutch depleted for the all-important clash against France. Furthermore, their coach Ronald Koeman has named the uncapped Nick Olij as the team's goalkeeper for the match, replacing Andries Noppert, who was the side’s first-choice goalie at last year’s World Cup.
The other noteworthy upcoming clashes in the Euro 2024 Qualifying are Spain vs Scotland, Ireland vs Greece, Croatia vs Turkiye, Austria vs Belgium and Portugal vs Slovakia. Meanwhile, in the wake of the turmoil caused by the Israel-Palestine conflict and the deadly attacks by Hamas militants, the Israel vs Switzerland game has been postponed until November 15.
