It’s time for another international break as the countdown to this summer’s UEFA Euro 2024 tournament truly begins across the continent. Some nations are gearing up for a big run, whereas others didn’t make the cut and simply want to rebuild ahead of World Cup qualifying. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a pretty entertaining encounter between France and Germany.
France Form GuideLes Bleus fought hard to keep hold of their position as world champions but in Qatar, they wound up falling at the final hurdle. The next step in their journey takes them to the Euros, a competition that hasn’t been great to them in recent years. They still have one of the best squads in world football, though, so you can imagine they’ll be feeling somewhat confident.
After beating Ireland 2-0, France fell to a 2-1 defeat against none other than Germany. They went on to defeat Netherlands, Scotland and Gibraltar (the latter by a 14-0 scoreline), and in their most recent outing, they drew 2-2 with Greece.
Germany Form GuideGermany is known as one of the most successful nations in the history of the beautiful game. In recent tournaments, however, they haven’t exactly done themselves justice, going through one of their worst spells in their history when it comes to success. With that being said, the Euros will be held in their own back yard this year, which is reason enough to believe they can do something special.
Following a 4-1 loss to Japan, the Germans defeated France and the United States. Their run of friendlies continued with a 2-2 draw away to Mexico, but in November, they were hit with consecutive losses as they were beaten by Turkey and Austria.
Match PredictionThese two countries are very familiar with one another and in an encounter like this, we truly believe they’re going to give their very best from beginning to end. It’s going to be a tense and nervy affair but when the final whistle blows, we expect to have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
