France vs Germany Match Preview
- Tournament – Friendlies
- Date – Saturday, March 23
- Kick-off Time – 08:00 pm GMT
- Venue – Groupama Stadium, France
The two heavyweights of world football will face off in a friendly in the ongoing international break.
France have been in excellent form as they remained unbeaten in the UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifiers. They won seven and drew one of their eight games and topped their group. After narrowly missing out on the FIFA World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022, Les Bleus will be keen to win the Euros this summer.
Germany, meanwhile, have gone through a tough time recently. They have lost six of their last 10 games, winning twice and drawing twice. They sacked Hansi Flick last year and have brought in Julian Nagelsmann for the Euro 2024, which is to be held in Germany.
The upcoming friendlies will also be the first time Toni Kroos will feature in Germany’s colors having announced his return from retirement.

France have been in sensational form in recent years. They came close to winning the FIFA World Cup in 2022, losing against Argentina on penalties. However, they bounced back well in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers. Moreover, their star players like Kylian Mbappe are in form for their clubs.
Germany, meanwhile, are hoping to get back to form under Julian Nagelsmann. They have qualified for the Euro 2024 being a host country but will need a big turnaround to compete for the trophy.
Predicted Score: France 3-1 Germany
