EURO 2024: Preview of Group D Featuring France, Netherlands, Poland and Austria

With just one day left to the upcoming EURO tournament, action in Group D promises to be a thrilling affair, as France, the Netherlands, Poland, and Austria go head-to-head for a place in the knockout rounds.

France, the co-tournament favorites with England, are determined to bounce back from their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to Argentina in Qatar in December 2022.

Les Bleus are headed by Didier Deschamps, and boast of a wealth of talent, including Kylian Mbappe, Kingsley Coman, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmanm, William Saliba and Mike Maignan.

They are expected to make a deep run in the competition, but they face stiff competition from their Group D rivals.

The Netherlands, under the guidance of the experienced Ronald Koeman, are widely tipped as the clear second favorites in the group. Just like Deschamps, Koeman was a great player and is now an experienced tactician.

The Oranje, who won the European Championship the last time it was held exclusively in Germany in 1988, will be hoping history repeats itself.

With a squad that has the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Nathan Ake, DebLigt, Frankie De Jong, Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay, they will be contention to recapture the 1988 magic and even seize the top spot from the French.

Poland and Austria, while not the outright favorites, possess the potential to cause significant upsets.

Poland, captained by legendary striker Robert Lewandowski, will be aiming to showcase their prowess on the continental stage, having qualified for the last five European Championships.

Besides Lewandoski, Poland have a wealth of other good players like goalkeeper Szczesny, Jakub Kiwior, Nikola Zalewski and foward Adam Buksa, and these could give hard time to the rest of the teams in the group.

Austria, on the other hand, are coming off their best-ever finish at the Euros, reaching the last 16 in the previous tournament before being knocked out by Italy, who eventually won the 2020 Euros.

Under the leadership of Ralf Rangnick, the Austrians have developed an aggressive, high-pressing style that could catch their opponents off guard.

With the Netherlands holding a slight edge in the projections over Poland and Austria, the battle for the remaining qualification spots promises to be a thrilling one.

The Matchday two encounter between darkhorses Poland and Austria that will take place on June 21st, could prove pivotal in determining which of the two sides advances to the last 16.

France are the favourites in the group, but with football, more especially the Euros, anything can happen. Eyes will also be on the Netherlands, Poland and Austria, which makes Group D an interesting one to watch.
