Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for France vs. Germany at International Friendlies
The European football classic takes place this Saturday night in Lyon. France and Germany meet once again, only this time in Lyon, on French soil, following last year’s clash in Germany. The hosts are massive favorites, yet one can’t underestimate Germany, no matter its state. Julian Nagelsmann doesn’t have too much time to create perfect chemistry for the upcoming European championship.
France
The French team suffered only one loss since the defeat in the World Cup finals against Argentina. That was in Germany last September, and we are sure that Deschamps’ boys would want to get things straight with their big-time rivals.
Since that defeat, we saw the Gauls play four meetings, posting three wins and one tie, which was against Greece on the road, 2-2 in the most recent event. Mbappe and the boys defeated the Netherlands on the road, 1-2, Scotland at home, 4-1, and Gibraltar at home, 14-0.
We don’t need to talk too much about this unit and its qualities because everyone knows that the French side has fantastic individuals in every position on the field.
Germany
Die Mannschaft is experiencing historic problems, as we haven’t seen the German team this low over the last few decades. Two victories in the recent ten events perfectly picture the entire situation.
They come into this event following back-to-back losses, one at home to Turkey, 2-3, and the other in Austria, where the hosts triumphed 2-0. Previously, the German side won over the USA 1-3 and a 2-2 against Mexico, both of which were played in the United States.
The main problem of the team is the sluggish attack because Germany doesn’t have a proper target man in the box, which was the case throughout time. Just remember all the legends who were in that spot, such as Gomez, Klose, Gerd Muller, etc. After that comes the inconsistent defense, which hasn’t delivered a clean sheet in 10 straight events.
France: Maignan; Pavard, Saliba, Disasi, T Hernandez; Camavinga, Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Kolo Muani, Mbappe
Germany: Neuer; Henrichs, Tah, Rudiger, Raum; Kimmich, Gross, Gundogan, Musiala, Muller; Gnabry
We’ve mentioned that Germany won in September, 2-1. Before that, the Gauls haven’t lost in six straight, winning four contests and having two ties. France’s last competitive event was at the 2021 EURO, 1-0.
For us, the French team is an absolute favorite, with them being far superior in each position on the field. Germany’s defense won’t stand a chance against Mbappe and the guys because they don’t have the speed to compete with PSG’s forward and also with other forwards who will play for the Gauls. We expect to see the hosts’ routine victory.
Our verdict: France wins
