Azerbaijan vs France Prediction

Milli komanda went winless in the qualifying phase of the 2022 World Cup and will look to conclude their ongoing campaign with a win. Notably, their last two wins in the World Cup qualifiers have been registered at home, with the last one coming against San Marino in 2017.

Les Bleus are unbeaten in their last six games, recording five wins. They have dropped points just in the ongoing qualifying campaign, playing an away draw against Iceland last month. They went unbeaten in the qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup and will look to conclude this campaign on an unbeaten note as well.

Didier Deschamps will be without the services of Kylian Mbappe, who decided to withdraw from the squad. Eduardo Camavinga has also left the training camp, and Manu Koné was booked against Ukraine and will serve a suspension here.

The visitors have a 100% record in this fixture, scoring 15 goals without conceding, and considering their record in the World Cup qualifiers, they should be able to register a comfortable win.

Prediction: Azerbaijan 0-3 France
