Greece vs France: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

France won the last game 14-0 against Gibraltar

France are showing no signs of stopping even after clinching their spot for the Euros next year. They registered a record 14-0 victory against Gibraltar in the last game, indicating they don't want to take any lightly. France may look to try out new names for this clash but considering they opted for their first-choice line-up against 198th-ranked team Gibraltar, there isn't a big hope of massive changes in the lineup. France will be hoping to end on high.

Greece are still in contention to make their way for next year's Euros but the loss against Netherlands has come at the wrong time for them. They are currently in 3rd spot with three points from the second-placed Netherlands. Greece will be hoping not only for one miracle to win against France first but two miracles as the Netherlands will be facing Gibraltar who have lost every and didn't score a single goal and have conceded 35 goals in seven games.

Player to Watch

Giorgos Masouras (Greece)

Greece may be on the brink of missing out on the plane to Germany, but Masouras has been their key man throughout the qualifiers. He has scored five goals for them in seven appearances. Mosouras would be disappointed if Greece missed out on the Euros but would be proud of his personal performance and looking to produce another against France in the last game.

Kylian Mbappe (France)

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick in the last game and doesn't look in the mood to slow down even in dead rubber games. He has been sensational for France and will be looking to continue his run and add more goals to his increasing goal tally. Kylian Mbappe is the automatic watch out for pick for the player from this clash.

Match Prediction for Greece vs France

It may be a dead rubber game for them but they will be looking to end their campaign on high and maintain the same streak. Greece, on the other hand, has a lot to play for and may have less chance of making it to the next stage but will be looking to give their best shot.
