France vs Luxembourg prediction, preview, team news and more | International Friendlies 2024
France will host Luxembourg at the Stade Saint-Symphorien on Wednesday in a friendly clash between the two teams. The home side are headed to the European Championship in Germany this summer where they will be looking to lift their first Euro title since 2016 and will begin their preparations for the tournament this week.
They picked up a 3-2 victory over Chile in their last match, with Youssouf Fofana, Randal Kolo Muani and Olivier Giroud all getting on the scoresheet to secure a narrow but largely deserved win for Les Blues.
Luxembourg, meanwhile, narrowly missed out on a place in Euro 2024 and will turn their attention to the UEFA Nations League in September. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Kazakhstan in their last match, with Gerson Rodrigues and Danel Sinani getting on the scoresheet to overturn an early deficit.

France vs Luxembourg Prediction
France's latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings and they will be looking to build on that this week. They have lost just one home game since 2022 and are overwhelming favorites for Wednesday's game.
Luxembourg, meanwhile, have won three of their last four games after going winless in their previous three outings. They have, however, struggled for results on the road of late and should see defeat here.
Prediction: France 4-1 Luxembourg
