Gibraltar – France : Preview & Prediction
The Euro 2024 qualifiers continue for Les Bleus. France are already playing their third match in these qualifiers. This Friday at 8:45pm, Didier Deschamps’ team travel to Faro’s Estádio Algarve to take on Gibraltar. It’s a real clash of extremes in Group B of the qualifiers. France are already in the lead with 2 wins from their first 2 matches. And they’ll be taking on what appears to be the weakest team in the group. Gibraltar have also played 2 matches in these qualifiers and have yet to pick up a single point.
At the moment, the situation is very complicated for Gibraltar. Prior to these qualifiers, they had finished bottom of their Nations League group in Division C, with just one point. And it hasn’t really been able to raise its game for the start of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. Julio Ribas’ team lost to Greece (0-3) and the Netherlands (3-0). The task will be even more complicated against the last World Cup finalists. Les Bleus have already established themselves at the top of Group B. They gave the Netherlands no chance in their opening game (4-0), before winning in Ireland (0-1). Didier Deschamps’ men are determined not to drop their heads in this latest encounter. This should give them the edge going into their next match against Greece.
Gibraltar’s objective will be to resist the French onslaught for as long as possible. This selection will be able to count on its captain: Roy Chipolina. The 40-year-old defender even scored 2 goals for his team in friendly matches last November. For their part, France will be fielding a strong team. Didier Deschamps had to make do with the withdrawal of Ferland Mendy and Adrien Rabiot. However, they have been replaced by Jordan Veretout and Boubacar Kamara. It should also be noted that Théo Hernandez was spared in recent training sessions and may not play in this match. Les Bleus will be able to count on Antoine Griezmann, Randal Kolo Muani, Eduardo Camavinga and Kylian Mbappé, who are all in fine form at the moment. The latter finished top of the Ligue 1 scoring charts. He has scored 10 goals in the last 8 matches. Why not continue with his national team?
