Iceland vs France: Group D - UEFA Women's EURO 2022

France Women will take on Netherlands Women at New York Stadium in Rotherham in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women's Championship 2022 on Saturday.

Les Bleues are yet to win the competition. In fact, they have never progressed beyond the quarterfinals. Paradoxically, the team have produced some of the best players in Europe, and France is home to one of the best women’s clubs, Lyon. However, if they beat Netherlands, France will reach their first Euro semifinals.

The Netherlands, meanwhile, are the defending champions following their maiden title in the 2017 edition. Two wins and a draw helped them secure second spot in Group C, level with leaders Sweden with seven points. The Oranje still have glory in their sights but need to underline their title credentials against France.

Both teams have good and dependable defences. They are excellent on the flanks and have experienced goalkeepers. Who'll blink first?

Focus sur le 1/4 de finale de samedi soir ! 🇫🇷-🇳🇱 💪

France Women vs Netherlands Women Prediction

France manager Corinne Diacre will likely revert to her regular starting XI after making changes against Iceland. The New York Stadium is now more or less a home to Les Bleues, where they played all their group games.

The Netherlands will likely be unfazed as they look set to do their thing. The game is going to be too close and could be decided by a penalty shootout, where Netherlands might prevail.

Prediction: France Women 2-2 Netherlands Women. Netherlands to win on penalties.
