Last rehearsal for Didier Deschamps and his troops before the Euro. Les Bleus after their internship in Austria, find France by the east, via Metz and Saint-Symphorien stadium, for a final preparation match against Scotland, the only missing British nation of the Euro.
The Euro approach, and the questions accumulate to Deschamps. After successive packages of Varane, and Mathieu Sakho, one of Lassana Diarra has just been added to the list, amputating the French selection of a new strong element. Against Cameroon, the back and called last minute Adil Rami has not reassured, confirming the defensive difficulties of this France team. Goal this Saturday against the Scots: bring back a semblance of serenity in this defense, while retaining some effectiveness in attack. For this last preparation match before the Euro,
Deschamps certainly will proceed with final testing and will want to test the players likely to have a starting spot after the recent last minute packages. A scenario similar to the game against Cameroon is expected.
The forward line is the number one asset of this France team: against Scotland, the French should again register more goals.
Given the DIFFICULTIES posted by Adil Rami against Cameroon and the package Lass, it is not impossible to see Mangala N'golo Kanté start the encounter against Scotland. A lack of automation could cost again at least 1 goal in our Blues.
At least 5 goals were scored in the last three matches of the Blues: 3-2 to the Netherlands, 4-2 against Russia, 3-2 against Cameroon.
France has scored 20 goals in their last 8 matches.
Antoine Griezmann and Anthony Martial could be aligned at this final meeting before the Euro
Didier Deschamps certainly try a last device to resolve recurring defensive problems of the Blues. But with players missing automation and benchmarks, difficult to perform miracles. Fortunately, the offensive sector of the Blues is doing great! Over 2.5 goals in this game.
