France national football team will have a friendly match with the team of Paraguay on the upcoming Friday in Rennes. The vice-champions of Europe are approaching the match as clear favorites, as it befits one of the strongest European national teams. But the South Americans should not be underestimated as well. The team has rich practice of positive results in the games with world leaders, so it won’t be easy for the Europeans in the clash.
After Euro 2016, in which the France team lost to Portugal in the final, it has become even stronger, which is clearly seen by the recent results of the Tri-colors. The Blues are playing in 2018 World Cup qualifying group A with Sweden, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Belarus and Luxembourg, confidently leading the group. Although, in the previous friendly match, held in Paris, the Frenchmen lost to the Spaniards with a score 0:2.
Paraguay national team is also fighting to get into the World Cup in Russia, but the things aren’t going that well at the moment. After fourteen rounds, played in the South American group, Guarani have 18 points and the 8th place out of 10 teams. There are chances on getting into top-4 for Paraguay, as there’s only 5 point handicap between Paraguay and the Chileans, which are currently in the top-4, but they need to outrun Argentina, Ecuador and Peru for that.
After the domestic loss to Spain, the French team will try to get the satisfaction in the upcoming game against the Paraguayans. The level of the future rivals differs. Tri-colors are clearly stronger, plus the Europeans have the field factor in their favor.
Prediction for the match: France to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
