France – Paraguay (International Friendly)

France national team and Paraguay national team face each other this Friday night at Roazhon Park, in Rennes, in a friendly match. The french squad are in a very good momento in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and are preparing to their second friendly match since the beginning of 2017, having lost the latter against Spain, and Didier Deschamps might give an opportunity to young players here. Paraguay, on their turn, are not properly in a good moment and arrive here with hopes of improving their playing style in order to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

France are preparing for their second friendly match since this year’s beginning, having lost 0-2 against Spain in March, and this will be their only friendly match before facing Sweden national team, their biggest opponent in Group A of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. In those 2018’s qualifiers, Les Blues are the leaders of Group A with 13 points, the only team undefeated in this Group, and are 3 points above the swedish squad, 2nd placed, with the same number of goals scored (10) and goals conceded (3).

France have one of the best national football teams in the world, having extremely talented players who play for some of Europe’s best football teams. The team’s backbone is strong and very well composed, starting with Hugo Lloris in goal, Tottenham, Varane and Koscielny as defenders, Real Madrid and Arsenal, Kanté, Pogba and Matuidi as midfielders, Chelsea, Manchester United and PSG, and Griezmann, Dembélé and the young Mbappé as forwards, Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and AS Monaco. It is just a matter of time until Didier Deschamps can withdraw all the potential of their players and make one of the most fearful squads in the world.

In their last 5 matches, France has a record of 3 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. This sequence of results started with a 0-1 victory against Netherlands. This result was followed by a 2-1 victory over Sweden, a 0-0 draw against Ivory Coast, friendly match, a 1-3 victory against Luxembourg, and in their last clash, a 0-2 defeat agains Spain, in a friendly match.

Probable Lineup: Lloris – Sidibé, Varane, Koscienly and Digne – Kanté, Matuidi and Pogba – Mbappé, Griezmann and Dembélé.

After facing this french squad, the Paraguayans will also face Peru national team in a friendly match, with the next 2018 World Cup qualification match being only at August 28, what will give plenty of time for head coach Francisco Arce to improve Paraguay’s playing style and to try new options on the field in order of getting better results. Only few players of this national team play in Europe, like Gustavo Gómez, AC Milan, Federico Santander, FC Copenhagen, and Iturbe, Torino.

In their last 5 matches, Paraguay has a record of 2 victories and 3 defeats. This sequence of results started with a 0-1 victory over Argentina. This result was followed by a 1-4 defeat against Peru, a 1-0 defeat agains Bolivia, a 2-1 victory over Equator, and in their last clash, a 3-0 defeat against Brazil.

Probable Lineup: Silva – Jorge Moreira, Gómez, Balbuena and Samudio – Rivieros, Rojas, Almirón and Ayala – Romero – Iturbe.

France has won 1 of their last 3 direct clashes played in the last 19 years, drawing the other 2.

Being a friendly match, it is expected that both coaches make a lot of changes in order to test new players in the respective national teams, and might even try new tactics. Anyway, Les Blues have a high quality depth in their squad, possessing much more talented and experienced players, and should win here without having to many problems.
