Germany vs France Prediction 12.09.2023

• Competition: International Friendlies
• Date: Tuesday, 12th, September 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21.00 CEST
• Venue: Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund)

Germany, the upcoming hosts of the 2024 European Championship, are set to host the World Cup runners-up, France, at Signal Iduna Park in a friendly clash this Tuesday.

The German national team is currently going through one of the darkest periods in the history of football. The four-time World Cup champions have lost their former aura of dominance that used to intimidate opponents in various tournaments. Their evident crisis is underscored by the fact that their previous two World Cup campaigns resulted in early group stage exits, while in their last EURO appearance in 2020, they packed their bags after just the first knockout round, the Round of 16.

France stands in stark contrast to Die Mannschaft, having evolved into a powerhouse national team in recent years, confidently asserting their authority on the world and continental stages. Their supremacy is best illustrated by their last two World Cup outings, where they claimed the world title in 2018 and secured a runner-up position four years later. Buoyed by their recent successes, Les Bleus are primed to make a resounding statement on the EURO scene in Germany next year. They are on the cusp of clinching a spot in the final phase, currently dominating Group B with a perfect 15-point tally from the opening five rounds.

Germany vs France Betting Tips: France to Win

With just one year remaining until the start of the European Championship, Germany is in disarray. They suffered a humiliating 1-4 defeat at the hands of Japan in Volfsburg over the weekend, marking their fourth setback in their last five friendly matches. The German Football Association ran out of patience with manager Hansi Flick and handed him his dismissal. In contrast to the EURO 2024 hosts, France is basking in the glory of a strong qualifying campaign so far, having won each of their opening five matches without conceding a single goal and scoring 11 in the process.

Among other things, Les Bleus have emerged as an insurmountable hurdle for their Tuesday opponent. Indeed, their narrow 0-1 victory in the 2014 World Cup quarter-finals marked the last time Die Mannschaft tasted victory against the French. After that, Didier Deschamps' men went through six head-to-head meetings without defeat, four of which came out on top, while two ended in stalemate. Although the Germans will put up a stronger resistance than against Japan, it does not change the fact that France are the superior side at the moment and we hope that Mbappe and company will extend their winning form to six games.
