The three Netherlands danger men that could dent France’s Nations League hopes

Ronald Koeman beginning a renaissance in Holland

England’s match against the USA may be stealing the headlines on UK shores, but there’s some big matches all over Europe in the Nations League this weekend.

France and Holland face off in Amsterdam with Les Bleus knowing a win would see them advance to the last-four.

But this won’t be plain sailing for the World Champions with Ronald Koeman’s men in great form.

The Dutch have a younger core coming through now and are 2/1 to grab the victory.

So that being said, we take a look at who could do some damage for Oranje.

Virgil Van Dijk

The captain is the fulcrum of club and country. At 27-years-old Van Dijk is coming into his peak and is now producing arguably the best football of his career.

Often an immoveable object at the heart of the defence, his partnership with youngster Mathijs de Ligt is becoming the bedrock of this new-look Dutch side.

The Netherlands have only conceded six goals in their last seven games and kept a clean sheet against Germany.

Van Dijk will be a danger at set-pieces and has a fierce strike that Les Bleus will have to be wary of.

Memphis Depay

Depay’s impressive form for Lyon this season begs the question of why did Manchester United let him go?
