The biggest game of this Monday, October 10th, takes place in group A with Netherlands hosting France in a very entertaining clash.

Stay with us while we look into the highest value line to take on this game.

After a disappointing performance in the Euro Cup 2016 qualification, where Netherlands failed to reach the final stage, the team suffered a revolution.

The team known as the Holland presents a very talented squad with experienced players such as Sneijder combined with the irreverence of young players like Tottenham’s striker, Janssen.

The biggest problem for Netherlands is always the defence. The 3-4-3 formation of old Ajax is not good enough against quality teams and is very hard for them to keep a clean sheet. Over the last 14 games, only one of those ended with a clean sheet for Netherlands.

On the other side is France, a team with big ambitions who was very close from winning the 2016 Euro Cup on their own country. Despite the disappointing of losing a final at home, France already bounced back from that result. With a very strong squad, France presents a quality squad in all sectors with Varane in defence, Pogba, Kante and Matuidi in the midfield and up in the front, Antoine Griezmann and Payet.

Although their defeat in the final, Didier Deschamps remained as the team’s coach. Besides his continuation, Deschamps also decided to leave one of their main stars, Benzema, out of the team until November.

Looking now to this game in a betting perspective, the visitors dominate in all the sectors. They have enough quality on their defence to stop Holland’s talented attack while on the midfield, there is no comparison possible between the two teams. It’s very difficult to find another national team with so much talent and physical ability on the midfield. The bookmakers are well aware of that with France as the favourite here. Even though the odd is not huge, there is still value to play it.
France Draw No Bet at 1.70 in the green listed bookmaker Betvictor is a very interesting line to take with confidence this Monday or get higher risks and take the -0.25 line.

Regarding the goals on this game, the Over/Under market is quite hard to predict. At first sight, we consider this “an Over game” since Netherlands knows how important is to collect points on their big rivals’ turf. However, Over 2.5 goals is a big line to take since we wouldn’t be surprised with a 2-0 for France. That said, the Over 2.00 is the highest we would go on this market and we recommend you to avoid any more risks on this market.
