The marquee fixture of the day is the high-stakes Group B clash between the Netherlands and France at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam. Les Bleus delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over the Oranje when these two teams last faced off in March, and they are eager for another headline-grabbing performance.
French manager Didier Deschamps acknowledges the challenge, stating, “The game in Amsterdam will be complicated, and unlike when we met at Stade de France. We cannot expect the same, either from us or from the Netherlands.”
Group B also presents a showdown between the Republic of Ireland and Greece, with the Dublin hosts seeking redemption after a 2-1 loss in Athens back in June. Ireland’s manager, Stephen Kenny, faces mounting pressure as his team’s chances for qualification have been narrowed down to a slender path through next year’s UEFA Nations League. Kenny expressed his disappointment, saying, “Listen, from my point of view, I’m not thinking about that now. I’m just very disappointed that we can’t finish in the top two in the group. I’m just very, very disappointed with that, and it’s gut-wrenching that we can’t, you know.”
Friday’s lineup also includes an early kick-off featuring Estonia and Azerbaijan, Belgium’s away fixture against Austria, Iceland’s pursuit of a home win against Luxembourg, Liechtenstein hosting Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Portugal striving to maintain their flawless record in Group J when they face Slovakia in Porto.
Portugal’s manager, Roberto Martinez, emphasized the readiness of the team without Cristiano Ronaldo, stating, “We need to give opportunities, and Gonçalo Ramos and Jota showed what they can do. [Cristiano] Ronaldo has experience and a special way of being, we don’t need to create doubts or comparisons. This team is prepared to win without Cristiano too.”
