France welcome the lowest-ranked side in their qualifying group with Didier Deschamps’ side winning both of their games so far, against Ukraine and Iceland. There are some interesting inclusions in the France squad this time around, with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Florian Thauvin included.

France tend to be pretty dominant in the qualifying stages for a tournament, but the opposite is true for Azerbaijan, who have failed to beat Ukraine and Iceland in qualifying so far and will struggle to take anything from this encounter.

📈 France v Azerbaijan Form & Stats

France started their qualifying campaign a little later than the majority of sides due to their involvement in the Nations League finals. They collected a bronze medal in that competition after losing out to Spain in the semi-final but overcoming Germany for 3rd place.

France are comfortably the best side in their qualifying group and shouldn’t have any issues from this point in reaching the World Cup. This is their most comfortable game of the group on paper, which may tempt Didier Deschamps to rotate his side and give opportunities to fringe players.

His squad selection for this international break is one that looks like it’s offering a chance to players that may not have even been looked at by the international team in the past.

Azerbaijan are one of many sides that find themselves in a group in which it is near impossible for them to progress from. France could beat them with a squad of players that don’t even make the cut for the national team.

They did manage to earn a point at home against Ukraine, but that is likely to be the only joy they get during this qualifying campaign.
