Where does the Netherlands and France rank on the league standings?
France ranks first in Group 1 of the UNL's League A with seven points after playing three matches. Relatively, the Netherlands has three points from two games and ranks second, ahead of bottom-dweller Germany.
What is the current form of the Netherlands as compared to France?
After being unable to qualify for Russia 2018, the Netherlands is steadily rebuilding under the supervision of Ronald Koeman. So far, the former Everton manager has led the Oranje to just two defeats in its last eight appearances across all competition.
One of such defeats was against France in the previous UNL outing. Coming into Friday's game, the 2010 World Cup finalists are currently on a two-game unbeaten run and will need just a point to survive the drop in their current group.
Relatively, France can secure its spot in the finals of the UEFA Nations League as just a point separates the World Cup winners and Netherlands. Les Bleus are on a staggering 15-game undefeated streak which they maintained the last time out with that 2-1 comeback win over Germany.
