France v Germany Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Germany will be desperate for a result when they travel to Paris to take on France in Tuesday's UEFA Nations League clash.

Joachim Low finds himself under pressure after taking just one point from the opening two Group A1 matches, following up a goalless draw against this opposition with a surprise 3-0 defeat away to the Netherlands.

Les Bleus were held to a 2-2 draw against Iceland in a friendly last week, but are 20/29 (1.69) favourites to open up a four-point lead at the top of the table by coming out on top here.

That draw was a second in three matches for the hosts, and there are odds of 29/10 (3.90) available on this one also finishing up all square.

Team News

Raphael Varane is unlikely to play after picking up an injury against Iceland, although the likes of Lucas Hernandez, Blaise Matuidi and Kylian Mbappe should all return to the starting line-up.

Jonathan Tah has been called into the senior squad after captaining the Under-21 side on Friday, with Jerome Boateng in danger of dropping out of the defence after a hapless performance in Amsterdam.

Struggling Germany

As a meeting between the two most recent world champions, this fixture would normally be considered a clash of the titans.

However, so poor is Die Mannschaft's form that it is hard to see them giving a strong account of themselves, particularly after going three competitive matches without scoring for the first time in their history.

Indeed, the Germans may settle for merely frustrating Didier Deschamp's team after Friday's chastening defeat against the Dutch, although this tactic may also fail given the quality in the opposition attack.

Predictions

All in all, odds of 7/5 (2.40) look like solid value on France coming out on top in a tight match that features no more than three goals.
