Our prediction for this Euro 2024 match:
After surviving Netherlands in their last group game, France will be aiming to keep their 100% record in the Euro 2024 qualifiers intact when they face Gibraltar at Allianz Riviera on Saturday evening. Les Tricolores have already secured their spot at the European Championship finals, but they surely want to put icing on the cake on a very successful qualifying campaign. Warren Zaire-Emery has received his first call-up, whereas both Dalot Upamecano and Jules Kounde return from injuries.
As always, the opposition back-line should have in-form PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe. Gibraltar, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing each of their six group games. David faces Goliath in Nice and we are positive that France are going to roll over Gibraltar in Saturday’s qualifier. Earlier in the process Didier Deschamps’ men defeated the minnows 3-0.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015.

Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Gibraltar):
Gibraltar played their first unofficial match against Jersey in the 1993 Island Games. The Gibraltarians suffered a 2-1 loss to Jersey, but they did well to hold Slovakia to a goalless draw in their first official international match. Gibraltar participated in the 2016 World Cup qualifiers and they were drawn in Group D alongside Germany, Poland, Georgia, Republic of Ireland and Scotland.
They failed to impress on their debut in the World Cup qualifiers and it has to be noted that the minnows suffered a loss in each of their ten group games (goal difference 2:56). Gibraltar recorded their first ever win against Malta on April 6, 2014 and that is considered the team’s biggest success.
