I really liked France against Netherlands today. Actually I liked Mbappe the most. His performance was really incredible and his second goal was just marvelous. That kind of a shot is always difficult to save. He could have made a hat-trick as well if his another goal attempt didn't hit the crossbar.
Interestingly the odds given to over 2.5 goals for this game was near 2.00. I mean we watched their last game in France as well. France destroyed their opponent by 4-0. I expected a similar amount of goals here as well and here we are. Therefore it was a good opportunity to bet on over 2.5 goals.
I agree, France played really well this match and secured first place in the standings, a draw in the next match will be enough for them to have the mathematical certainty of winning group B and getting a ticket to go to Germany for the next Europeans. the double victory against the Netherlands 4-0 in the first leg and 2-1 in the return are 6 points won against the direct competitor for first place. Come on, the Netherlands have to win their next few games to have a chance of finishing second in the table
I thought that the Netherlands would defend hard in the match to avoid conceding a goal. That's why I didn't think they would give too much space. That's why I didn't play the over 2.5 odds, but I preferred the over 1.5 goals. The match ended with 2.5 overs but I didn't want to take too much risk.
Mbappe's 2. The goal was really beautiful. With this victory, France made things difficult for the Netherlands. Difficult times await the Netherlands in the next matches.
