France’s promising candidate for the Euro 2024 championship. With the desire and ambition of their leader, they play very seriously even in international friendly matches. The clearest evidence is their convincing 3-0 victory over Luxembourg. The upcoming match against Canada is considered a final rehearsal for Les Bleus. Compared to Luxembourg, Canada is much stronger, but this is not enough to make it difficult for the French team with a squad of top-notch stars for this season.
Expert opinion on the France vs Canada match
France has made fans worried about their chances of winning the Euro as they did not perform well in their first two international friendly matches. France was surpassed by Germany and failed to score any goals with a 0-2 score. In addition, they struggled to win against the weaker Chile with a close 3-2 score. However, Les Bleus somewhat reassured the fans by defeating Luxembourg with 3 goals and keeping a clean sheet. The player who helped the French team score 3 goals was none other than Kylian Mbappe. He assisted in the first two goals for Randal Kolo Muani and Jonathan Clauss. At the end of the match, Kylian Mbappe scored himself and secured the final score. With this performance, he could lead France to glory.
In the match against Luxembourg, defender Dayot Upamecano suffered an injury and is unlikely to play in the match against “the team of the maple leaf”. If Upamecano fails to recover in time, William Saliba will replace him. This shows that France has been extremely thorough in their preparations. They can replace any player in the lineup and still operate effectively. In this European tour, Canada has become weaker. They were recently defeated by the Netherlands with a score of 0-4. With this battle, Canada has become lackluster. Throughout the 90 minutes, “the orange whirlwind” constantly attacked and dominated the opponent’s goal, launching a shot every 4 minutes. Based on this analysis, the experts are confident that the French team will achieve a good result at the Matmut Atlantique stadium.
Odds for the France vs Canada match
In their last 5 matches, Les Bleus have only lost 1, drawn 1, and won 3 matches. They have scored a total of 22 goals and conceded 6. In their two recent appearances, the French team has scored 3 goals each time. The results show that France’s form is gradually improving compared to their first friendly match against the German team.
As for the Canadian team, they have only won 2 matches and lost 3. They have only scored 7 goals while conceding 12 times. Their most disappointing defeat was against the Netherlands, where they conceded 4 goals and failed to score any. The entire Canadian team seemed paralyzed against the opponent. The Netherlands is also France’s opponent in Group D of Euro 2024 this year. Les Bleus are sure to not lose to their opponent. They will not only defeat Canada in the upcoming match but are likely to score more goals than against the Netherlands. Despite participating in many tournaments, France and Canada have only faced each other once. It was a classic showdown at the 1986 World Cup. The result was a victory for the French team with a score of 1-0. Even the head-to-head history supports the French team. They only need to maintain their stable form to defeat Canada.
