World Cup Qualification

Venue: Stadion Grbavica.
Les Bleus are easily the favorites to become group champions, and they have already raced to the top of the table with an unbeaten record so far.
In fact, in a group of five teams, the other four are comparatively minnows, and Didier Deschamps’e men might not even have to sweat it out for the top-most position.
However, the Euro Cup is coming up this summer, and after the loss they faced at home in the 2016 final against Portugal, they are determined to make amends. Nothing but triumph in the continental extravaganza will quench their thirst.
And it seems the right time to make a push for it as well. Their prominent players are tearing it out in various European clubs, and generational talent Kylian Mbappe seems ready to take up the mantle as the best player in the world.
Moreover, their objective is to recreate the period of domination by Spain – when they won two Euro Cups and a World Cup in the span of just four years.
This Wednesday, the reigning world champions will take on the lowly Dragons, and the former are easily the favorites – considering their talent at disposal, as well as their h2h superiority.
The Dragons were held to a 2-2 draw the last match-day, by Finland. In the meantime, Deschamps’s men recorded a 0-2 win on the road the past game week, against Kazakhstan.
Going on, the world champions have a superb h2h record against this rival, as well as they were unbeaten in 41 of their former 45 overall fixtures.
They are also on a seven-game winning run on the road, and had conceded a total of just one goal from these seven matches.
On the other hand, their opposite number are on a ten-fixture winless run, and the last they won at home was back in October of 2019.
Considering these observations, count on France to deliver a routine win this Wednesday.
