The race for automatic qualification in Group A2 takes a massive turn this Saturday as France hosts the Netherlands in a high-stakes rematch. Just four days ago, the Dutch secured a historic 2-1 victory in Breda—their first win over Les Bleues in over a decade—thanks to a debut goal from 19-year-old Renee van Asten and a clinical winner from Esmee Brugts. That result catapulted the Netherlands to the top of the group, leaving France desperate to reclaim its spot at the summit.

France enters this home fixture under significant pressure. Despite being ranked among the world’s elite, their "perfect" qualifying record was shattered on Tuesday. To get back on track, manager Hervé Renard will look for more clinical finishing from stars like Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto. Playing at the Stade de France provides a formidable backdrop, and the French will be eager to use the home crowd to avenge their recent slip-up and avoid a potentially tricky path through the playoffs.

The Netherlands, meanwhile, are riding a wave of immense confidence. The victory in Breda proved they could absorb French pressure and strike effectively on the counter-attack. With goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar in fine form—despite an unlucky own goal in the last outing—and the midfield energy of Wieke Kaptein, the Oranje Leeuwinnen appear to have found the right tactical balance. A win, or even a draw, in Saint-Denis would keep the fate of qualification firmly in Dutch hands.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
