Germany vs France Prediction and Betting Tips | September 12th 2023
Germany will welcome France to the Signal Iduna Park in an international friendly on Tuesday.
Germany will host the UEFA Euro 2024 and thus did not play in the qualifiers in the ongoing international break. They played a friendly against Japan at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday, suffering a 4-1 defeat.
The shock defeat led to the termination of Hansi Flick as the manager of the national team. Rudi Voller has been named the interim manager for the time being and will lead the team against France in this friendly.
The visitors maintained their perfect record in the European qualifiers with a 2-0 home win over Ireland on Friday. Aurélien Tchouaméni scored in the 19th minute and Marcus Thuram added the second goal in the 48th minute.

Germany vs France Prediction
Die Mannschaft have struggled for form in 2023, winning just one of their six games thus far. At home, they are winless in their last four friendlies and have just one win in their last six home games across all competitions as well.
They have conceded 12 goals in their last four home games while scoring just six times in that period. They'll look to bounce back from their 4-1 hammering by Japan in this match but it might prove to be a difficult task.
In-form winger Jamal Musiala is absent because of an injury. Rudi Voller will take charge of the match as the head coach, having spent the last 17 years in the capacity of Sporting Director with Bayer Leverkusen and the national team.
Les Bleus have been phenomenal in their European qualifiers and alongside Portugal, they are the only team to have clean sheets in the five games thus far.
They have traveled to Germany with a full-strength squad and, considering their current form and record against the hosts, we expect them to secure a win.
Prediction: Germany 1-2 France
