France News and Form
France looked as if they were heading to a home friendly defeat against Iceland recently before they got two late goals for a 2-2 draw. That leaves them a W1 D2 in their last three games. They opened the Nations League with the 0-0 away draw in Germany and then took down the Netherlands 2-1 back in Paris.
The French are top of the group and a win here would leave them four points clear of the second-placed Netherlands with one game to play. Their heads were not in that game against Iceland and will be sharper here. Both teams NOT to score is at 11/10 odds* (betting odds taken on October 14th, 2018 at 5:54 pm). That’s based on recent head to head.
France are unbeaten now since a friendly defeat against Colombia back in March. It is a sequence of fourteen games since then with France winning ten of those. Kylian Mbappe, who got the equaliser against Iceland in midweek, looks to be raising his status all the time and he is at 6/4 in the anytime goalscorer market with only Antoine Griezmann a shorter price* (betting odds taken on October 14th, 2018 at 5:54 pm). France have the scoring form with at least two goals now in five of their last seven games. We may see them open up a little bit more than they did away in Germany.
Germany News and Form
Things are not going right for the Germans at the moment. Their fortunes have not changed since their miserable World Cup 2018 campaign. They earned that point at home against the French in their Nations League opener and then after a narrow friendly win over Peru, they suffered a big 3-0 defeat against rivals Netherlands on the weekend.
Against France and the Netherlands, they have created chances but no-one is finishing them. They are badly lacking there at the moment. Germany have scored in just one of their last three games now, so France to win to nil may not be too bold of a punt at 2/1 odds* (betting odds taken on October 14th, 2018 at 5:54 pm).
Germany have only won three games in their last elven played. Just one of those three games was a competitive win as well. They are not in a good place here, but if they could take maximum points here things would look so much better. If they suffer a loss then immense pressure is going to be on boss Joachim Loew.
Not only are Germany not scoring they are not picking up clean sheets either as they have just one in their last eleven games. They certainly look a bit second best to the French at the moment and because of that a France 1-0 option is at 13/2 odds* (betting odds taken on October 14th, 2018 at 5:54 pm).
France v Germany Head to Head
The two played out a 0-0 draw in that first Nations League meeting and that is back to back draws these two have played out. France are undefeated in their last four fixtures against Die Mannschaft, winning two and drawing two. Both teams have scored in just one of their last five meetings.
France v Germany Predictions
France to win: France didn’t have their heads in their friendly game against Iceland in midweek. Expect them to be more tuned in here. Germany are all out of shape at the moment and nothing is going for them up front. Home win.
