International Friendly Preview

It has been an excellent build up to the EUROs this summer for France, as the nation have been incredibly consistent throughout the qualifying campaign. The nation remains one of the leading contenders to win the tournament this year after showing excellent tournament experience after reaching the World Cup finals in each of the last two editions.

France have continued to play at the highest level over the last 12 months, winning all but two of their ten matches. However, it could be worth noting that their only defeat over this period was suffered in Germany against their opponents this week. But, since that defeat, they have bounced back to winning ways, scoring 22 goals in their last four matches. But, they were held in their most recent clash after playing out a 2-2 draw against Greece in Athens.

Germany have been one of the most dominant teams in EUROs history, having won the tournament on three occasions. They have also reached the semi-final stage in three of the last four editions. But, there will be significant pressure on the team to raise their standards ahead of the tournament this year, as fans will demand an improved showing based on their exploits at the World Cup in the winter of 2022. 

However, it could be challenging to overlook Germany’s form over the last 12 months. The EUROs hosts have lost five of their last eight internationals, and they have recorded just two wins across the same period. They also come into this showdown with Germany after losing each of their last two against Turkey and Austria. 

France vs Germany Head to Head

Germany ended a long winless run against France late last year, which was their first win against the French since the 2014 World Cup. France have won two of the last three internationals between the sides, which includes a 1-0 win at the EUROs in June 2021. Two of the last five have also ended in draws. 

France vs Germany Team News

Thomas Muller has been recalled to the Germany squad for the latest round of international matches. However, Mats Hummels, Leroy Sane, and Leon Goretzka all miss out. Moussa Diaby and Warren Zaire-Emery are both included in the French squad. However, Boubacar Kamara, Christopher Nkunku, and Kingsley Coman all miss out. 

France vs Germany Betting Trends To Know

France have been one of the most in-form attacking teams in the international game since the start of the October international break. The former world champions have netted an average of 5.5 goals per game.

Contrastingly, Germany have been poor in the final third of the field over the same period. They have scored just four goals across their last three internationals. Worryingly, Germany have also conceded six goals across their last three, which could leave them vulnerable against a vibrant attacking French side. 

France vs Germany Prediction

This should be an entertaining fixture between two of the biggest European nations in the sport. However, the recent form does indicate that Germany could be set to struggle against a free-scoring France. 

France’s attacking players could make this a humbling experience for the hosts of the upcoming EUROs, and we could see the former world champions scoring at least three against Germany to secure a morale-boosting victory on home soil.
