France is one of the best national teams in the world and is currently number two on the FIFA World Ranking List. They were the runner-ups in the World Cup and reached the Semi-Finals in the previous EURO. When it comes to the UEFA Nations League, the Blues started with a loss against Italy and then won three in a row. Right now, they are second in group 2 with nine points in four rounds. With a potential win over Israel, they will secure the next stage of the competition because they are five points away from 3rd placed Belgium, and there are just two rounds left.
Meanwhile, Israel are a team that pretty rarely secures appearances in major competitions. They haven't appeared in the World Cup since 1970 and have never reached EURO in their history. However, moving from UEFA Nations League C to League A have been impressive in recent years. However, the impression is that they definitely do not belong among the best European teams and will most likely get relegated back to League B. Currently, they are in the last place with zero points, and it would take a miracle for them to even secure the relegation playout.
France vs Israel pick: France to win and cover the -2 AH spread
France won three games in a row while scoring eight goals - 2.67 per game. If we look at their games in the last couple of years (28 games), the Blues have lost only to the best teams in the World - Argentina, Germany twice, Spain, and Italy. And we can safely say Israel is not even close to that level.
Meanwhile, Israel lost all four games in the UEFA Nations League while losing by two or more goals on three occasions. It is evident they are unable to defend against good teams and have allowed 13 goals - 3.25 per game.
In the first h2h game around a month ago, France totally dismantled Israel, winning 4:1 on a neutral pitch in Budapest. Now, at home, we believe that anything but another dominant win for the Blues would be a massive surprise.

France team news
The biggest story surrounding France NT is yet another absence of their captain, Kylian Mbappe. The 25-year-old star had a controversial fall-out with coach Didier Deschamps, and that is the primary reason why he isn't on the squad.
Aurelien Tchouameni received a red card in the previous UEFA Nations League game against Belgium and will serve his one-game suspension. However, he suffered an ankle injury and wouldn't be able to play anyway.
