France enters this performance after a 3-0 win against Wales, in a preparatory game for the next official matches: the team’s goals were signed by Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. In this game against Bulgaria, coach Didier Deschamps should focus on maintaining ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the corridors. On an individual level, we highlight forward Kylian Mbappé, who is very fast and strong in transporting the ball to attack. All players are available for this game.
This will be the 3º friendly match of the year for the away team, after having registered the following results in the previous friendlies: Russia (1‑0) Bulgaria and Slovakia (1‑1) Bulgaria. In the last 9 away matches Bulgaria has tied 4 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

The Bulgarian team enters this journey with a defeat, by 1-0, against Russia, in a preparatory game for the next official matches. For facing a complicated opponent, coach Yasen Petrov must favor defensive organization and counterattacks through the corridors. The man who acts in front of attack, the striker Kiril Despodov, is the great highlight of Bulgaria, being this one very fast and strong in transporting the ball for the attack. There are no weightless absences for this game.
