The Euro Champ Qualifiers match between France and Gibraltar will take place at Skonto Stadium on Sunday at 1:15 am IST.
In the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifying Group B match, France will host Gibraltar at the Allianz Riviera in a clash between the top and bottom teams. France has secured the top spot in the group with two games remaining, while Gibraltar, struggling and yet to earn a single point, faces a challenging task against the group leaders.
France, on the verge of securing a perfect record in Euro 2024 qualifying, has the opportunity to replicate their achievements in the 1992 and 2004 editions. Despite not being the most prolific in attack, the team, led by Didier Deschamps, boasts the best defensive record in Europe, conceding only once in six preliminary fixtures. Kylian Mbappe’s brace in their recent match against the Netherlands sealed their qualification. With pride and a place in Pot 1 for the Euro 2024 group-stage draw at stake, France, holding 18 points, aims for maximum points against Gibraltar. This quest could solidify their position as they compete with other nations for the final three places in Pot 1.
France, boasting the best defensive record in Euros qualifying, faces Gibraltar, the only team yet to score in the preliminary rounds. Gibraltar, along with Cyprus, San Marino, Liechtenstein, and Malta, is one of five teams without a point in UEFA sections. Despite their defensive struggles, Gibraltar’s counterparts have all managed to score in Euro 2024 qualifying. Gibraltar suffered 4-0 defeats to Wales and the Republic of Ireland in their recent matches, marking their eighth loss in as many games in 2023. Julio Cesar Ribas’s team faces daunting tasks against France and the Netherlands to conclude a challenging year. Their record in Euros qualifying stands at 18 defeats in 18 matches, with a previous 3-0 loss to France in June.
France probable starting lineup: Samba, Clauss, Saliba, L. Hernandez, T. Hernandez, Zaire-Emery, Rabiot, Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe, Thuram
