Netherlands - France: The winning team will lead Group A

(Baonghean.vn) - At 1:45 a.m. on October 11, 2016, the Netherlands will host France in the key match of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. The winner of this match will have a chance to top Group A, so both coach Danny Blind and Deschamps want a good result. Will the host Netherlands be able to "break the curse" this time?

Thanks Atletico

Griezmann is an indispensable striker in the French national team. For several seasons, the French striker has been Atletico's top scorer. Griezmann has scored extremely important goals to bring Atletico to the Champions League final. When playing Euro 2016 at home, Griezmann continued to shine, bringing France to the final and winning the Golden Boot with 6 goals.

The 2G iron pair "Griezmann and Gameiro" are having very erratic performance.

Coach Deschamps once chose Giroud, Signac, Kingsley, Martial to pair with Griezmann but did not achieve the desired results. Meanwhile, La Liga this season, Coach Simeone built the trio of Antoine Griezmann, Kevin Gameiro and Nicolas Gaitan to confront Barca's attack including the attacking trio from South America, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar and the "trio" of Real Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema. Atletico's double-barreled cannon, Griezmann-Gameiro, has become the fear of every defense. And Deschamps only has to bring this duo into the French team. In the recent match against Bulgaria, Gameiro scored a double and Griezmann also contributed a goal to the resounding 4-1 victory.

With their current form, in all three arenas of La Liga, Champions League and World Cup 2018 qualifiers, the impressive attacking duo named 2G “Griezmann and Gameiro” continuously scored. More than anyone else, coach Deschamps needs to thank Atletico and coach Simeone.

New Tulip Vase

Taking over the Orange team when a generation of talented players had passed the other side of their careers, coach Danny Blind had to start from scratch. After failing to win a ticket to France last summer at Euro 2016, the Netherlands is gradually regaining its position as a giant in European football.

Coach Blind has dismissed a series of unsuitable veterans such as Huntelaar, Robben or van Persie. Among the two pillars, in addition to goalkeeper Stekelenburg, who still plays regularly, Sneijder is constantly injured. Tonight, except for 34-year-old goalkeeper Stekelenburg, coach Danny Blind will field a squad with the remaining 10 positions all belonging to the 9x generation. Due to injury, midfielder Sneijder will likely be absent, but looking at the form of the young players, especially Q. Promes, Klaassen and Janssen, who just scored in the resounding 4-1 victory over Belarus, people can somewhat trust the "new tulip".

In the last 11 confrontations between the two sides, the Netherlands only won 2 and lost 7 matches to Les Bleus. In this 11-match streak, there were 5 matches where the Netherlands could not score against France, but this time the Amsterdam audience hoped for a miracle from the team when they changed their appearance. Coach Danny Blind of the Netherlands said: "France is always a very difficult opponent for the Netherlands. They are physically fit and always play the best football. But we only think about winning this match."

Both coaches prefer to use the 4-2-3-1 formation, but with the current personnel in hand, each team will certainly have a different way of operating. In terms of player quality, France is clearly superior, but home field advantage will help Danny Blind and his team feel more confident. And we will wait and see, who will win?
