The international friendly match between France and Scotland will take place at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Wednesday at 12:30 am IST.
In a friendly game at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, France and Scotland will face each other in a friendly match on Wednesday. France secured their place in the Euro 2024 Finals by defeating the Netherlands 2-1. On the other hand, Scotland suffered a frustrating 2-0 loss to Spain. France now enter the friendly without pressure. They have a perfect record in Euro 2024 qualifying, shared only with Portugal, and are poised to finish in first place.
France heads into the friendly with an 11-game scoring streak since their loss to Tunisia in last year’s World Cup. However, their only friendly match in 2023 ended in disappointment was a 2-1 loss to Germany last month. Scotland, who recently beat Spain and celebrated their qualification for Euro 2024 thanks to Spain’s win over Norway, has a strong desire to challenge France. Scott McTominay could be a key figure for Scotland, as he previously troubled Spain with a brilliant free kick.
However, their defeat to Spain, along with a previous loss to England last month, puts them at risk of a third consecutive defeat, a situation they haven’t faced since October 2019. The history between the two teams shows an even record of eight wins and eight losses in their 16 previous meetings. France has won five of the last seven encounters, including a 3-0 friendly win in 2016 with goals from Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny.
France’s probable starting lineup: Samba, Gusto, Pavard, Todibo, T. Hernandez, Fofana, Camavinga, Dembele, Griezmann, Coman, Giroud
Scotland’s probable starting lineup: Gunn, Patterson, Hendry, McKenna, Porteous, Taylor, McGinn, McTominay, Gilmour, S. Armstrong, Adams
