Prediction: 3-1
Chile
France will look to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Germany when they take on Chile in yet another pre-EURO warm-up game. Les Tricolores failed to impress in their first friendly of the year, but they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. All Olivier Giroud, Theo Hernandez, and Eduardo Camavinga should be recalled to the starting XI, while Antoine Griezmann remains in the recovery room.
La Roja, on the other hand, rolled over Albania 3-0 in their last friendly, but they will have a mountain to climb in Marseille. As France are determined to get back on course following the heart-breaking defeat to Germany, home win should definitely be considered. To make things even worse for the South American side, Norwich City midfielder Marcelino Nunez limped off with injury in the triumph over Albania. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Inter ace Alexis Sanchez, who has netted 51 goals in 162 appearances for Chile.
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. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
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 (Chile):
The Chilean Football Federation has been established in 1895 while Chile’s first-ever international game was a 3-1 loss to Argentina in 1910. The two countries formed a remarkable rivalry over the years and it was exactly against Argentina that Chile won their last major trophy – a 2015 Copa America title.
Prior to their 2015 title Chile had been runners-up in the competition on four different occasions. Chile triumphed in a dramatic final on penalty kicks to reach their first tournament championship. In a symbolic turn of events, Chile start their 2016 Copa America Centenario with a rematch against Argentina. The most capped player of the Chile national team is Barcelona goalkeeper who has past his 100-match mark with the squad he has been a part of since 2004.
Former Lazio and Juventus striker, the legendary Marcelo Salas is the leading scorer with 37 goals to his name. Key player to the current set up is Arsenal winger Alexis Sanchez who has been the team’s leader on the pitch since 2006.
