France vs Israel Prediction

Les Bleus are on a three-game winning streak in the Nations League, scoring eight goals while conceding twice. They are on a seven-game unbeaten streak in this fixture and are strong favorites.

Kylian Mbappe has been left out of the squad by manager Didier Deschamps. Kingsley Coman has been called up as a replacement for Ousmane Dembélé due to a hamstring issue while Wesley Fofana has withdrawn due to a knee injury. Aurélien Tchouaméni was red-carded last time around and has been left out of the squad.

The Skyblue and Whites have been in poor touch recently, suffering six losses in seven games in 2024. They have suffered defeats in their four games in the Nations League thus far, scoring one goal apiece.

Considering the contrast in form between the two teams and Les Bleus' better goalscoring record, the hosts are expected to record a comfortable win.
