France

Didier Deschamps' side defeated Belgium 2-1 away in the last round. As a result, the French team achieved three consecutive victories in the Nations League for only the second time in their history. With nine points, France occupies the second spot in the group standings. They need just one point from the remaining two matches to advance to the quarter-finals.

Defender Lucas Digne will not play due to suspension.

• The team has not lost in regular time in 7 of their last 10 home matches in the Nations League (6 wins, 1 draw).
• France has not scored more than two goals in 90 minutes in their last five home games in this tournament.
• A maximum of three goals have been scored in regular time in 4 of France's last 5 home matches in the Nations League.

Israel

Ran Ben Shimon's side suffered a 1-4 defeat away to Italy in the last round. Consequently, Israel endured their fourth consecutive loss in the Nations League, with two of those defeats being heavy. The team has not earned a single point in this tournament's current edition and sits at the bottom of the group. A loss to France will eliminate Israel's chances of staying in League A.

• The team has not won in regular time in 6 of their last 8 away matches in the Nations League (2 draws, 4 losses).
• At least three goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Israel's last 7 away games in this tournament.
• Both teams have scored in regular time in 6 of Israel's last 7 away matches in this tournament.

France vs. Israel: Match Prediction

At home, France tends to play from a position of strength, which positively impacts their scoring: in 8 of their last 10 home matches in the Nations League, they have found the net in regular time. However, their defensive line is not always flawless at home, as they have only kept three clean sheets in their last 10 matches over 90 minutes.

Israel deserves credit for their bold play in League A, having scored in each of their four matches in the elite division of the Nations League. Additionally, their scoring streak in this tournament now spans nine games. However, Israel is prone to defensive errors, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine away fixtures in the Nations League.

I expect Israel to score at least once against France, and there's no doubt about the attacking prowess of Didier Deschamps' side. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
