France – Wales : Preview & Prediction
We can not wait to see the Blues in action! World champion in 2018, the France team logically remains one of the big favorites of this Euro 2020. The selection of Didier Deschamps did not tremble during the qualifiers, to secure his ticket for European competition. And the Blues have been playing at an excellent level for many months now. However in the group of Portugal or Croatia, France finished in front and offered itself the right to play the next Final-Four of the League of Nations. His start in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers also went well with seven points taken in three days. Now, the French players can fully concentrate on Euro 2020.
And Didier Deschamps will count on one of the most impressive staff on the whole planet. In addition to Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba or N’Golo Kanté, the French coach can now rely on Karim Benzema! After more than five years of absence, the Real Madrid striker has made his return with the Blues. Excellent news for this French team, which has high expectations of one of the best players of the season. And the Blues begin their preparation this week. At the Allianz Rivera in Nice, the French Team welcomes Wales. There is no doubt that Didier Deschamps wants to obtain victory at the end of this meeting. His team would then be full of confidence for the future.
We can clearly envisage a victory for the Blues for this first friendly match. In the qualifiers, Wales finished second in their group, behind Croatia. However, he was only one step ahead of Slovakia and two over Hungary.

Before finding Germany, Hungary and Portugal at the Euro, the France team does not want to miss.
