Gibraltar vs France match preview
Will France continue their 100% record in Euro 2024 qualifying?
On matchday one, les Bleus demolished Netherlands 4-0 in Paris, with Antoine Griezmann and Dayot Upamecano on target in the first eight minutes, before Kylian Mbappé scored twice.
Three days later, the world champions battle to a 1-0 victory over Republic of Ireland in Dublin, with Benjamin Pavard scoring a thunder-strike before Mike Maignan pulled off a world-class save in stoppage time.
Didier Deschamps’ side were always likely to cruise through this group, given that France haven’t missed a major tournament since USA ‘94, featuring at every Euros since 1988.
So, the side who were in a World Cup Final less than six months ago are expected to run riot in this one.
Hosts Gibraltar are yet to get off the mark in Group B, beaten 3-0 by both Greece and Holland in March.
This includes shipping seven to the Netherlands, eight at the hands of Poland and nine in Belgium, with another heavy defeat likely here too.
Gibraltar’s usual home of Victoria Stadium is currently undergoing renovations, meaning this fixture will take place at Estádio Algarve just over the Spanish boarder in Portugal.
Regardless, France will cruise to victory.
Gibraltar team news
18 year old midfielder Nicholas Pozo is the bright hope of Gibraltarian football, given that he’s on the books of La Liga side Cádiz.
At other end of the expirence scale, 40 year old centre-back Roy Chipolina is still going strong, although the captain isn’t likely to start.
France team news
William Saliba, Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe and Adrien Rabiot are injured, while Hugo Lloris, Raphaël Varane and Karim Benzema all retired from international football following the World Cup.
Mike Maignan has taken over from Lloris as the number one goalkeeper, proving his worth with some outstanding saves in March.
Olivier Giroud became France’s all-time record goal-scorer in Qatar, currently on 53, although Kylian Mbappé will surely surpass him soon, as he’s already netted 38 times.
Christopher Nkunku will be hoping to score his first international goal this month, while future Chelsea teammate Wesley Fofana could make his senior debut.
Antoine Griezmann hasn’t missed a France game for six years, featuring in all 78 competitive internationals since his debut in 2014, with both streaks set to continue in Faro/Loulé.
