Following their defeat to Argentina in the 2022 Qatar World Cup final, France played 10 matches, with eight for the Euro 2024 qualification and two friendlies. One of these friendlies was against Germany, where France, the current World Cup runners-up, suffered their only loss, 2-1, on September 12, 2023. During this period, after the World Cup loss, France recorded eight wins, one draw, and one loss, scoring in all games and conceding in four, all within the last five matches.
On the other hand, Germany enters the upcoming match after three winless games, drawing with Mexico and losing to Turkey and Austria (3-2 and 2-0, respectively). In their last 10 games, Germany won only twice, against France and the United States. Additionally, they had two draws (against Ukraine and Mexico) and six losses (to Belgium, Poland, Colombia, Japan, Turkey, and Austria). Notably, Germany conceded goals in 13 of their last 14 matches, a trend worth nothing.
Key points for the game:
- France have scored more than 1.5 goals in 11 of their last 15 games.
- Germany have conceded goals in 13 of their last 14 games.
- France have only lost 1 of their last 14 games.
- Germany have only won 2 of their last 10 games.
- 17 of their last 18 head-to-heads have seen less than 3.5 goals scored.
Our game prognostic:
Although recent meetings have favoured the German team, we believe that France are well placed to win this Saturday’s match. The French team is going through a much more positive moment, with a better run of results, while the Germans have only managed two wins in their last 10 games. These statistics highlight the challenges the Mannschaft have faced in achieving favourable results. Our prediction for the France-Germany match is a French win or a draw, with less than 3.5 goals scored.
