All of France’s five recent contests took place in the UEFA Nations League, which turned out underwhelming with one win, two draws and two losses. Australia, meanwhile, have swept their last five meetings across all competitions, which included friendlies and World Cup qualifiers. Let’s now discuss each side in detail.
France v Australia Prediction – Preview
France
France are looking to bring come their third ever World Cup, as well as becoming the first back-to-back Cup winners since Brazil (1958, 1962). A year ago, it looked almost likely after Les Bleus beat Spain 2-1 in the UEFA Nations League final. In this year’s edition, however, the French were not as impressive, as they managed to win only one game out of three group stage matches. For Qatar, manager Didier Deschamps has at his disposal another cup worthy squad, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Eduardo Camavinga and Hugo Lloris gracing the pitch. Sadly, recent Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema has bowed out to injury. It is unlikely though, to deal a heavy blow to the hommes, who are among oddsmakers’ favourites to win it all.
Australia
Australia will be participating for the sixth time in the World Cup finals, and are looking to win a first ever Cup, reaching as high as the Round of 16 in 2006. They secured their slot in Qatar by beating Peru in the qualifiers final, 0(5)-0(4). Manager Graham Arnold‘s squad is composed of a mix of European league players such as Aaron Mooy and Maty Ryan, as well as local stalwarts such as Jamie McLaren and Garang Kuol. They may not be as illustrious as their Bleus opponents, but The Socceroos are raring to make an impression and go as far as they can.
France v Australia Prediction – Final Thoughts
Despite injuries plaguing the defending champions, France have just enough to see off the streaking Socceroos. In an attempt to make a big impression, we expect to see Australia on the attack early, leaving them exposed to the more battle-hardened Les Bleus. With that, let’s take a look at our prediction.
