Currently, France holds the title of World Cup runner-up, hence their hopes for EURO 2024 are high. The last time France claimed the trophy for the best European team was in 2000. The French team, led by Didier Deschamps, breezed through the qualifications, finishing first in their group, four points ahead of the Netherlands who came in second. Their last qualification match was a draw against Greece (2-2). This was their only non-win match in the group, however, it’s worth noting that France had already secured the top position prior to this game, thus they did not field their strongest lineup.

Despite being one of the most successful teams historically, Germany has not secured any major trophies since the 2014 World Cup. This year, with the EURO being hosted by Germany, their aspirations are at an all-time high. Germany didn’t participate in the qualifications and thus, only had friendly matches in 2023, where their performance was not up to their usual standard, with three victories, two draws, and six defeats. In their most recent match, they suffered a 2-0 loss away against Austria.

France vs Germany pick: France to win 

In their last head-to-head friendly match last year in Dortmund, Germany beat France 2-1. Despite Didier Deschamps’ team losing, the statistics indicated that they performed slightly better. Given this, it is anticipated that France will deliver a stronger performance in the next game, making it a promising bet.
