France vs Germany Prediction and Betting Tips

Both teams want to start this Euro 2021 in the best possible way. There is no advantage in terms of motivation.

France Betting Facts

After being an unfortunate finalist of Euro 2016 and having triumphed at the 2018 World Cup, the France team appears quite logically as one of the serious candidates for the title in this 2020 European Championship. The Blues had to fight to secure 1st place in group H of the qualifiers. Struggling against their runner-up, Turkey (2-0 away defeat and 1-1 draw at home), they won their 8 other matches. Faithful to their reputation, Didier’s men have not dazzled spectators with their quality but they still display an impressive team, perhaps the best in the Old Continent.

The main news about French selection just before the Euro 2021 is the grand return of Benzema, recalled in Blue by Didier after 5 years of conflict. All the stars are present. The goalkeeper and captain Lloris takes part in his 6th major competition. His goal will be defended by a solid hinge made up of Varane and Kimpembe while Pavard and Hernandez are to start on the sides. Endowed with the tireless Kanté coming out of a majestic season with Chelsea and Pogba. The starting offensive trio will associate Benzema with Mbappé and Griezmann. Fearsome, Mbappé has shaken the nets 42 times with PSG this season. Coman, Ben Yedder, and Dembélé can also make their contribution.

Germany Betting Facts

At least semi-finalist in all international competitions from 2006 to 2016, Germany completely missed out on their 2018 World Cup. Mannschaft finished last in a group consisting of Sweden, Mexico, and South Korea and disappointed its fans as well as all spectators after the coronation obtained in 2014. Despite this fiasco, Coach Joachim Löw kept his post and lived up to expectations during the qualifiers. Manuel Neuer's teammates finished, ahead of the Netherlands in 1st place in Group C with only one loss against the Batavians, for 7 wins.

Germany also has a few absences that were not caused by the selection management. The number 2 goalkeeper Ter Stegen who is due to have knee surgery and the very experienced Marco Reus who prefers to rest after a grueling season and repeated physical problems are not on Joachim Löw's list, just like the Parisian Draxler. A bit like Benzema on the French side, it should be noted that Müller and Hummels returned, two 2014 world champions, who had not been selected for two and a half years. Always so solid, Neuer will serve as the last bulwark while the major asset of this team is located in the midfield with Gündogan, Goretzka, Kroos, or even Kimmich. Offensively, we could find the formidable Gnabry, Chelsea striker Werner and the excellent Monegasque Volland, who comes out of a season with 18 goals but must be content with a replacement role in selection.
