France vs Israel Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The visitors are yet to score a point in group A2.

France will continue their UEFA Nations League campaign and will host bottom-placed Israel in their fifth group stage fixture. Les Blues have bounced back in time after their defeat to Italy in their opening fixture. Didier Deschamps’ men have won all of their last three fixtures, including a statement 1-4 win against Israel in the reverse fixture. They are placed second on the table with nine points from four games.

Israel on the contrary have had a tough time in the tournament so far. They have struggled to cope with the pace and intensity of their European counterparts and have lost all of their games. The Skyblue and Whites have conceded 13 goals, the highest by any team across the competition. They have hardly kicked the ball and will need to do something out of the box to even pull off a point against France.

Kick Off

Friday, November 15, 1:15 AM IST

Venue: Stade de France

Form

France (in all competitions): W-W-W-L-L

Israel (in all competitions): L-L-L-L-W

Players to watch 

Randal Kolo Muani (France)

The French international will need to step up to the occasion and shoulder the leadership role upfront in the absence of national team captain Kylian Mbappe. Kolo Muani has three goals and an assist so far in the tournament. He hopes to bring the same form to the national team. His goal-scoring abilities and ability to perform in high-pressure situations make him an important part of the Les Blues.

Mohammad Abu Fani (Israel)

Mohammad Abu Fani has been the only silver lining for Israel in the ongoing UEFA Nations League campaign. His technical acumen coupled with his creative abilities have been an integral part of Israel’s gameplan. He primarily operates as a central midfielder but can also slot in as a defensive midfielder as and when required. The 26-year-old is the top scorer for Israel having scored a couple of goals against Italy.
