The game
Before heading to Spain in a friendly match at the Stade de France, Les Bleus must ensure the essential during their trip to Luxembourg for their 5th meeting of these qualifiers. So far, Didier Deschamps’ protégés are 3 points ahead of the group, especially thanks to their success in Sweden (2-1) in November. The atmosphere is therefore beautiful in a team that is getting younger selection selection. DD made the choice to select Mbappé, the great hope of French football, who will certainly have time to play against Luxembourg or Spain. Thauvin, Bagayoko and Lemar will also be at the center of attention. The easy games are there to reveal the champions of tomorrow. So, will the French youth crush Luxembourg, the last of this group A?
Probability points France France
French and Luxemburgish competed in the qualifiers for Euro 2012. For 2 French victories on the score of 2-0, in games far from exciting …
In the playoffs, aside from the box against Bulgaria (4-1), the three matches of the Blues were not the most prolific: 0-0 in Belarus, 0-1 in the Netherlands and 2-1 Against Sweden. With our prognosis validated.
8 of the last 10 official matches of the French team ended with 3 goals or less at the final whistle.
The Luxemburgers have scored only 6 goals in their last 12 games, seven of them without finding the fault. Faced with solid French defense (2 goals conceded in 4 games), it will be very hard to exist.
Luxembourg France – Our prediction
France should logically impose itself in a Luxembourg formation that does not have the weapons to compete with the vice-champion of Europe. 8 of the last 10 matches of the Blues ended with 3 goals or less … We play on the “less than 3.5 goals”, the Luxemburgers failing to find the fault (6 goals only in the last 12 games).
Prediction: Over 3 goals
Odds: 1.70
