Luxembourg v France Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Mbappe could run rampant on debut against struggling Luxembourg

Simon Harrison

Didier Deschamps' men are unbeaten so far in World Cup qualification Group A, having picked up three wins and one draw in their opening four games. For their opposition, things haven't looked so pretty, with the underdogs yet to get a victory on the board.

Match Preview

France currently sit top of the group and are three points clear of their closest rivals Netherlands and Sweden in second and third place respectively. Luxembourg, meanwhile, are bottom of the table with just a point to their name from the 12 that they've had the chance to pick up.

- Bulgaria 4-3 Luxembourg - Luxembourg 0-1 Sweden - Belarus 1-1 Luxembourg - Luxembourg 1-3 Netherlands

Les Bleus don't have any players high in the goalscoring charts, with their threat spread out thinly across plenty of danger men. After drawing 0-0 with Belarus and scraping a 1-0 win over the Netherlands, France have scored just six goals in their opening four fixtures.

Luxembourg have scored in all but one of their four Group A games, but their main problem has been keeping the opposition out at the other end. The underdogs have conceded nine goals so far, with the Netherlands scoring three times despite being away from home back in November.

    -Belarus 0-0 France
    -France 4-1 Bulgaria
    -Netherlands 0-1 France
    -France 2-1 Sweden

Betting Advice

Paul Pogba and Bacary Sagna have pulled out for France due to injury, but there should still be more than enough quality available to the visitors to pull off a comfortable victory, with Antoine Griezmann in sizzling form.

France have been comfortably good enough to avoid defeat in their first four qualifiers, with Monaco's injection of young talent Kylian Mbappe set to give Deschamps' squad a welcome boost. Luxembourg will want to ensure that the scoreline doesn't get embarrassing, but Mbappe's international debut could be a special one.
