It is important to note that the defensive line is the strongest point of the French team, because away from home has not suffered goals in the last 10 games. The French national team, as a visitor, opened the scoring in 1 of the 3 matches played, finishing in the end. The French team will not be able to count on the following players: Paul Pogba, Benjamin Mendy, Martial and Lacazette. Varane is in doubt for this game with Holland. We believe that the French coach will privilege the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks: Griezmann is the great organizer of the offensive process. Mbappé is the most advanced player in the French national team.
