FRANCE

Didier Deschamps has been at the helm for Les Bluez since 2012 and they have tasted success under him in these last 10 years. There are some question marks over him being the coach since they have failed to live up to their 2018 triumph ever since they won the World Cup in Russia. Nonetheless, they have the necessary firepower to go on and win the coveted trophy this time.

In their World Cup qualifying games, France had quite a walk in the park with them finishing on 18 points, with their second challenger, Ukraine, in 2nd place with 12 points to their name. Griezmann and Mbappe were their main men in attack with them leading the goal scoring for the French team. They will need to be at their A-game if they want to retain the biggest title in World Football.

TEAM NEWS

The France squad is quite versatile as they can play in several different formations, keeping in mind the variety of players they possess. But, all things point towards them going for the 3-4-1-2 formation, where they can get the most out of their attack, midfield, and defense. Mbappe, Griezmann, and Benzema are expected to slot into the attack, whereas with the absence of Pogba and Kante, we will see a midfield this time around for France. With Varane, Digne, and Lucas Hernandez likely to be out too, the defense will have some new faces compared to 4 years back.

France is struggling with injuries to a number of their players, but since they have a lot of depth, they should be good as we head closer to Qatar. After going through an operation on his hamstring issue, Kante will be missing the World Cup this time, along with him, Paul Pogba too won’t be making the flight to Qatar with his knee not healing back quickly enough after surgery. As mentioned above, Varane, Digne, and Lucas Hernandez’s place in the squad is in jeopardy as they are all dealing with injuries.
