France vs Canada Prediction: the Hosts Won't Even Notice the Opponent

Prediction for the friendly fixture between France vs Canada, which will take place on June 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

France's national team is one of the best in the world, as shown by their success at the last two World Cups. They won the 2018 FIFA World Cup and came second in 2022. Still, they're not doing well at the European Championships, as they've only won one tournament in 2000. In Euro 2016, the hosts got silver; in other cases, they didn't win any awards. Now, the team clearly aims for success in Germany. They've already played three friendlies before Euro 2024, losing 2:0 to Germany and beating Chile and Luxembourg 3:2 and 3:0.

Canada has always been a pretty mediocre national team, but they've made some serious strides lately. One of the best examples is their participation in the 2022 World Cup, even though the Maple Leafs haven't played in the World Cup since 1986. They didn't make the playoffs at the tournament in Qatar, but they gained a lot of experience that should help them perform well at their home World Cup in 2026. It's also worth mentioning that they're still struggling to compete with the top teams. In June, Jesse Marsh's team played one friendly match and failed 4:0 to the Netherlands.

Canada is a fast-rising team, but they had trouble in matches against stronger opponents, which is why the Maple Leafs braced for a challenging game in Bordeaux. In June, the visitors lost to the Netherlands 0:4, and now they'll face an even more skilled and balanced team. The Frenchmen are especially good at home, having played eight matches after the World Cup 2022. They won seven times with a total score of 31:3. Impressive! The productivity of the hosts' offense is also worth mentioning. In their last eight home matches, they scored 31 goals (3.88 per game), while Canada displayed some defensive issues in their previous match against the Netherlands.
