The French team travels to Greece for its last match of the calendar year, this Tuesday (8:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Finishing the job to complete an almost perfect year 2023 from an accounting standpoint: this is the relatively anecdotal challenge of this trip to Greece for the French team. The Blues have stamped their ticket for the Euro since last month, but the prospect of completing this campaign flawlessly would confirm their status as number 1 seed for the great adventure, a few days before the draw for the group stage.
If the tricolors win in Greece, they will also be able to spend the holidays in first place in the FIFA rankings ahead of Argentina, a year after losing the epic final against this South American executioner (3-3, 2-4 tab ). In short, the Blues will not travel as tourists, even if a large rotation is expected. “ The first leg was difficult. There is quality in this team. On the offensive side, there is good aggression. We only won 1-0. The Greek public will be fully behind it. They are preparing for the month of March, for them it is an important match, I know they are not going to watch us play. There is going to be a high level match“, warned Didier Deschamps. The tone is set.
The expected compositions
Greece: Vlachodimos – Rota, Mavropanos, Hatzidiakos, Giannoulis – Bouchalakis, Galanopoulos – Masouras, Bakasetas, Konstantelias – Giakoumakis.
France : Samba – Koundé, Disasi, Saliba, L. Hernandez – Griezmann, Fofana, Rabiot – Kolo Muani, Giroud, Dembélé.
