Holland goes into this fixture knowing that a victory will all but guarantee their qualification to the knockout stages of Euro 2008. However, they must first overcome a French team that will want to make amends for an extremely poor performance in their opening game against Romania. Two leading online bookmakers, Betfair and Skybet, are giving away free bets up to the value of£10 that you can use for exciting match. The Dutch emerged deserved winners in their match against Italy and the 3-0 score line, Holland’s first win against Italy for 30 years, did not flatter them. Coach Marco van Basten’s team are playing fast, free-flowing, counter-attack football and at times looked unstoppable. Ruud van Nistlerooy’s 26th minute goal may have been suspiciously offside but there was no arguing about the stunning goal scored by Wesley Sneijder five minutes later on his 24th birthday. Former Arsenal man van Bronckhorst wrapped things up ten minutes from time. The last time Holland beat Italy, back in 1978, they went on to reach the World Cup Final. They will be hoping history repeats itself in this year’s European Championships.

France were involved in a dull 0-0 draw against Romania, the 20th such draw since the Championships began. The French seemed to lack conviction and determination and they will now have an uphill struggle to qualify from the ‘Group of Death’. The flair and creativity that is a fundamental part of French football was sadly lacking and it was evident that they missed their talismanic Captain Patrick Vierra and inspirational striker Thierry Henry, both missing through injury. Vierra is expected to be fit for the Holland clash and Henry may be risked in a toothless attack as Anelka is badly out of form for club and country. If both teams perform how they did in their first games then the Dutch should win this game very easily indeed but nobody can write off the French, as on their day they are one of the best teams in world football. This match has all the ingredients to be spectacular, especially as a neutral fan, and Betfair and Skybet are offering free bets for this fixture. With odds being offered on the first and last goal scorers, number of corners and number of yellow cards issued to name but three betting options you will be sure to find a bet for you.
