Reason for France vs Germany Predictions
France, the current world champions, is looking to add the European title to their order of honors and start with the team they replaced as World Cup winners. This pool has been termed the Group of Death, and rightly so, with the current European champs, Portugal also in the pool, along with Hungary, another exciting team. France had good preparations for this tournament, registering 3-0 wins over Wales and Bulgaria in the warm-ups. France flaunted their rich pool of talent in those two games, and three of their forwards managed to get on the score sheet – Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe, and Olivier Giroud. Meanwhile, Karim Benzema is back in the team and looked good in the warm-ups, though he missed a penalty against Wales. The quality in the French squad is excellent on both ends; they’ve kept four straight clean sheets going to this game while they’ve scored in each of their last seven matches. Olivier Giroud is an experienced player that means a lot for the national team, and he has scored many vital goals so far. Kylian Mbappe passes through the opponent’s defense as a fast train, one of the fastest players in the world.
Germany has suffered three losses at the hands of France in the last five meetings. The last time they beat France was at the 2014 World Cup, and they will be hoping to bring back that winning feeling as they look to restore their lost shine. In the 2018 World Cup, Germany suffered an early exit and will wish to make things right here. Playing their matches on home soil is perhaps the best motivation they’ll have since they don’t have a run as strong as France’s. They wrapped up their warm-up matches with a 7-1 win over Latvia, but the level of difficulty will be higher against France, and one area they’ll need to be keen on is defense, having conceded in each of their last three matches. A recent home loss to North Macedonia and a 6-0 defeat to Spain remain significant stains on the Germans’ badge, and an opening win over France will go a long way in restoring confidence. Ilkay Gundogan is a tremendous defensive midfielder who knows what he is doing at all times, he is strong, and it is not easy to take the ball away from him. Serge Gnabry enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems.
Conclusion
It will be a big battle between these two teams, and it will not be surprising if the match ends in a draw. We can also expect a goal in both nets, and neither side should keep the clean sheet.
