The hosts are currently 15th on the most recent FIFA World Rankings, while the visitors are in 24th position on the rankings.
This game will be the 24th meeting between these two European giants. Both of these sides have won ten games each while three of the games have ended in draws.
Netherlands looking to rebuildThe failure to qualify for Euro 2016 will have hurt the pride of a footballing team as famous as the Netherlands. They will be looking to build a formidable team to qualify for the next world cup as quickly as possible starting with friendlies such as this one.
The Orange, managed by Danny Blind are in poor form, with two wins and three defeats in their last fiev games. These wins were against Kazakhstan in Euro 2016 qualifying (1-2 on October 10), and Wales in a recent friendly game (2-3 on November 13).
The 2010 world cup finalists lost three of their last four Euro 2016 qualifying games to Iceland (0-1 on September 3), Turkey (3-0 on September 6), and the Czech Republic (2-3 on October 13).
France time to shineThe French will be hoping for some form going into the European championship, as they seek to win the title in front of their adoring fans. They have been handed an encouraging group with the likes of Albania, Romania and Switzerland constituting the group.
The Blues, managed by Didier Deschamps are in very good form, with four wins and one defeat in their last five games. These wins were against Serbia (2-1 on September 7), Armenia (4-0 on October 8), Denmark (1-2 on October 11), and Germany (2-0 on November 13).
The Euro 2000 winners however lost to England in a recent friendly game (2-0 on November 17).
Manager Danny Blind will be hoping the likes of Memphis Depay, Luke de Jong and Jordie Clasie perform to expectation in this game, as those are the players the remolding efforts will be centered around.
The French have some of the most exciting midfielders in their ranks, the likes of Ngolo Kante, Dimitri Payet, and Paul Pogba. These three have been impressive for their clubs all season, and will be hoping to transplant that form when they turn out for the national team.
The Dutch are under a lot of scrunity at the moment, and this scrutiny might pile a lot of pressure on their young players especially in front of expecting fans. I see the French winning this game by the odd goal.
