The top two in Group D, Netherlands and France will eye a second consecutive victory in Friday's Euro 2024 tie at Red Bull Arena Leipzig.
Ronald Koeman's side picked up a come-from-behind win in their opening game on Sunday, as Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst scored in the 2-1 result against Poland.
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe and co. will look to find their scoring boots given that Les Bleus edged Austria courtesy of an own goal by Maximilian Wober on Monday.

Koeman will have a full-strength squad for Friday's game as Brian Brobbey, who missed the Poland win due to a hamstring problem, returned to training.
Joey Veerman is on a yellow card, so another booking will mean a one-match ban for the final group game for the PSV midfielder.
Despite Weghorst's late winner last weekend, Memphis Depay is likely to continue to lead the line ahead of the former Manchester United man.
