France Team News
Already notching 13 strikes in his first 11 Ligue 1 appearances this season, the record-breaking Kylian Mbappe will spearhead France’s charge on Saturday night. Really bursting onto the scene with French giants PSG, 17-year-old sensation Warren Zaire-Emery looks set to earn a first senior cap in Nice.
However, dealing with recent injury issues, France will be without the duo of Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard and Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni here. Aston Villa midfield Boubacar Kamara has been included in Deschamps’ squad.
France possible starting lineup:
Samba; Clauss, Saliba, L. Hernandez, T. Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Thuram
Gibraltar Team News
While Tjay De Barr might still be waiting to open his League One account with Wycombe this season, the 23-year-old will spearhead Gibraltar’s charge at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday night. However, Dundalk defender Louie Annesley has been omitted from Ribas’ squad and will not feature over the next fortnight.
Plying his trade with Spanish outfit Cadiz, 18-year-old Nicholas Pozo looks set to earn a 10th international cap this weekend.
Gibraltar possible starting lineup:
Coleing; Sergeant, R. Chipolina, Mouelhi, J. Chipolina, Olivero; Walker, Pozo, Badr, El Hmidi; De Barr
France vs Gibraltar Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have met just once thus far, with the hosts registering a 3-0 win in the reverse fixture.
The hosts are one of just two teams with a 100% record in the qualifiers thus far alongside Portugal. They have scored 13 times in six games while conceding just once.
The visitors have suffered eight defeats on the spin across all competitions, failing to score in these defeats as well.
France have lost just once in eight games since finishing as the runners-up in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They have scored at least twice in five games in that period.
Gibraltar have suffered defeats in each of their 18 games in European qualifiers thus far, scoring just five times and conceding 87 goals in that period.
Prediction: France 6-0 Gibraltar
Les Bleus head into the match in great form, winning seven of their last eight games. They have enjoyed a 100% record in the ongoing qualification campaign thus far and their unbeaten run in European qualifiers extends to 13 games. At home, they have not lost in the qualifiers since 2010. Didier Deschamps had to let Eduardo Camavinga go after the Real Madrid midfielder picked up a knee strain earlier this week. Nice midfielder Khéphren Thuram has been called up to replace Camavinga and might get just his second start for the 2018 World Cup winners. Los Llanis have been in poor form in the qualifiers, suffering six consecutive defeats while also failing to open their goalscoring account. They have suffered defeats in their last 13 away games in all competitions, failing to score nine times in that period.
Considering the home advantage for France and the visitors' poor run of form recently, a comfortable win looks to be on the cards for the hosts while the odds of a clean sheet also look good.
