Bart Verbruggen GK vs. Mike Maignan GK

Bart Verbruggen is a young goal Luder for Netherlands and so far has been pretty composed, especially in his first match of the tournament and kept a clean sheet while he was starting the match. His quick footwork could be seen when making 6 saves in the match with one of them being an important save that would’ve taken the game. Verbruggen can definitively look at himself as a young future rising star in the Belgian team where under pressure he looked very confident although his experience on the international level is still rather limited. Thus, facing the French team which is capable of scoring goals, his task will be to avoid being nervous, and avoid making bad mistakes, especially in the cases involving quick countering and set plays.

Mike Maignan from France has seniority matches adding on to the fact he continues to demonstrate reliability in his national football team as well as his club team. He has been very useful in France’s recent victories, an example being his shutout in the opening match and his dominance in the box where his defenders can comfortably rely on him. Maignan will come in handy in trying to frustrate the Dutch attacking ventures especially concerning anything aerial and particularly any long range shots from Gakpo and Weghorst. His capacity to coordinate the defense and explain the situation minimizes the chances of defensive collapses, which is significant when up against an opponent who creates numerous opportunities to score.
