- Competition: EURO 2024 Qualification
- Date: 18th November 2023
- Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Allianz Riviera
Having already qualified for EURO 2024 with two games to spare, France will host Gibraltar who are bottom of Group B and still looking for their first point of the tournament on Saturday evening.
France have been unstoppable since losing to Argentina on penalties at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Les Bleus have played six competitive matches since the 2022 World Cup final - all qualifiers for EURO 2024 - winning all six games, scoring a total of 13 goals and conceding just one. The reward for this is that Didier Deschamps' side have qualified for the Euros for the ninth time in a row. Having failed to win the competition in each of the last five editions, Deschamp will use the remaining two qualifiers as preparation for next summer's tournament.
Gibraltar meanwhile were looking to qualify for the European Championship for the first time in their history since joining UEFA in 2013. Los Llanis finished each of their previous two qualifying campaigns for the European Championship without a single point, and it looks as though that will be repeated this time around. Julio César Ribas' side have lost all six of their matches so far, with their two remaining games against France and the Netherlands.
France vs Gibraltar Betting Tips: Over 1.5 goals 1st half
Led by PSG man Kylian Mbappe, France's attacking line is frightening as the team boasts nine goals from the last four games alone. Only six of those goals came in the first half, but we expect a different result this weekend.
Gibraltar have the worst defence in Group B, conceding an average of three goals per game and have conceded nine goals in their last two European Championship qualifiers. Julio César Ribas' side also conceded at least two goals in the first half of each of their last three matches in all competitions
- Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals 1st half
- France vs Gibraltar prediction: 4-0

France team news
Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps has called up PSG midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery to the France squad for the first time.
Should the 17-year-old feature in this international break, he would become the youngest member of the French national team since 1945, breaking Eduardo Camavinga's record.
At 37, Olivier Giroud has retained his place in the squad and the AC Milan striker will hope to make his 128th appearance for France this weekend.

Gibraltar team news
Gibraltar will continue to rely on the services of 40-year-old captain Roy Chipolina and 35-year-old Liam Walker, who lead the country's scoring charts with five goals apiece.
Eighteen-year-old Nicholas Pozo, who plays for Cadiz's youth team, made his first international appearance against Ireland last month and will be hoping to retain his place in midfield.
