It's a classic top-versus-bottom clash in Group D of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as France host Azerbaijan in Paris. Didier Deschamps' men have made a flawless start to their qualifying campaign, winning both of their opening fixtures.
Their latest victory which was a hard-fought 2-1 win over Iceland showcased the depth and strength of Les Bleus, who played with ten men for over half an hour yet still emerged victorious, Softfootball reported.
France's recent form underlines their dominance: they have lost just two of their last 11 matches across all competitions and are currently riding a three-match winning streak. At home, they remain very formidable, having claimed five wins in their last eight games.
