My Prediction
France by 2Alrighty then, let's dig our boots right into the muddy business of this upcoming matchup between the Netherlands and France. On the French side of things, our goalie Pauline Peyraud Magnin makes a splash with a 6.45 rating and a cool two saves. Add to that a player lineup that's huddled around their top performers like Delphine Cascarino, Amel Majri, and Kadidiatou Diani who have been churning the earth and kicking some serious grass with ace passing stats and unwavering scoring prowess.
Meanwhile, the Dutch team keeps the game spicy with Daphne van Domselaar standing tall in the net, matching her French counterpart with a rating of 6.50 and the same number of saves. The Netherlands' top players seem to roll towards Danielle van de Donk and Victoria Pelova who, despite their lack of goals, have been passing around the ball like a hot potato at a picnic. Esmee Brugts is another name that tends to pop up, stamping her authority with a goal under her wing.
But what's this? In the grander scheme, France seems to be soaring high with a 2-0-0 record, taking down every team that has dared to step in their path. The Netherlands, on the other hand, drags along with a 1-0-1 record, losing a bit of their luster. And, oh dear, they were squashed by England with a 4-0 loss recently.
All this makes me lean towards France "pâté-ing" the Netherlands right into submission. If you ask me, it'll be the Dutchless horse that'll be ham-tied and flipped over like a pancake.
