France team, three points clear of the Dutch, will host the 7th round match to Netherlands as both are still in contention for automatic qualification. France vs Netherlands Qualifier Predictions.

Match status: 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualification - Group A
Kick-off: Thursday 31 Aug 2017, 07:45pm GMT
Venue: "Stade de France" in Saint-Denis, Paris, France

Analysis and Reason for Recommended Bets:

Competition in qualifying Group A is in full flow as France and Netherlands national sides - second and third in the standings following six games accordingly - head into their reverse clash with the French leading the tie after a narrow 0-1 success at a crowded 50,220-sitter Amsterdam Arena.

It was Paul Pogba who scored the winner that night to subsequently put his team three points ahead of The Flying Dutchmen at least for the time around. Besides, although France are in partial lead now, Dick Advocaat's outfit seem to have outscored them in regards to goal-scoring efficiency, netting 13 goals in the last six group fixtures as opposed to 11 by The Blues.

It should be said a new-look Netherlands side look far more interesting with the likes of young, talented striker Quincy Promes, attacking midfielder Davy Propper, right-back Bruno Martins Indi and defender Wesley Hoedt over that competing in the group stages of Euro 2016, failing to make it out for the finals in France.

France: Lloris - Sidibe, Varane, Umtiti, Mendy - Dembele, Pogba, Kante, Lemar - Giroud, Mbappe-Lottin (4-4-2 formation)

Conclusion and Bets to Back:

This is doubtless a six pointer whose winner could be seen the runner-ups, as Sweden might drift away up the peak further by beating Bulgaria, whom they thrashed 3-0 in October last year. And there's a three points' distance in favour of Deschamps' force away from the Dutch, which they could take to six were they to deliver another victory at Stade de France, where they have run out winners in each of their two home encounters during the current World Cup group stages, so a win is more than expected.
