In the UEFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Luxembourg will host France at the Stade Josy Barthel this Saturday, March 25, 2017 (12:45 PM Pacific). The clash is a mismatch with France leading Group A with 10 points and Luxembourg being at the bottom of the group with one point.
The match will be one of the most intriguing encounters this weekend with the game being played at the Stade Josy Barthel, which has a capacity of only 8,054. Luxembourg will try and use this as an advantage, currently not close to a World cup spot in last place of Group A with only one point. The Red Lions did give Bulgaria a good fight in their last match in this competition, losing 4-3 away from home. The lone point for Luxembourg was earned via a 1-1 draw to Belarus in match-day two of the competition. Luc Holtz does carry a very young squad and it will be interesting to see how the team does against some of the best players in the world.
France is in a golden age of football with a plethora of young talent surging from the Western European nation. Currently, France is undefeated in the UEFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers, topping Group A with 10 points, beating Sweden, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and drawing to Belarus. Didier Deschamps will count with some of the best players in the world on his squad with players like N’Golo Kante and Antoine Griezmann. The young talent on the team is also a standout on ‘les bleus’ with players like Presnel Kimpembe, Adrien Rabiot, Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe Lottin getting the call for this game.
Monaco’s 18-year-old striker, Kylian Mbappe Lottin will be the most intriguing player to look out for in the game, having an incredible season with 22 goals in all competitions. The match should be one that France wins comfortably, but it should be a good game with all the young talent on the pitch.
