LAST MEETING
October 12, 2010: France 2-0 Luxembourg
France had few problems dispatching the challenge of Luxembourg in Euro 2012 qualifying, scoring once in each half against the 10-man minnows to record a 2-0 victory.
Karim Benzema broke the deadlock against a side comprising of 10 amateurs and just one professional. A Yoann Gourcuff corner fizzed in to the back post, and Benzema was given time to control the ball before smashing it across goal and into the net via the post. A rash challenge from Rene Peters on Gourcuff earned the visiting captain his second yellow card
The second goal came in the 75th minute. A quickly taken free-kick from Dimitri Payet found Gourcuff, and his low fizzing shot passed a couple of defenders before deceiving Jonathan Joubert, who allowed the shot to pass through him on a night on which he was otherwise impeccable.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Luxembourg: Jourbet; Hoffman, Schnell, Blaise, Kintzinger; Peters, Bayal; Leweck, Gerson, Da Mota; Joachim
France: Lloris; Sagna, Mexes, Rami, Evra; M'Vila; Gourcuff, Nasri, Ribery, Malouda; Benzema
Prediction
Laurent Blanc's rejuvenated Les Bleus will want to continue their great run into their first qualifier of 2011. With recent wins against England and Brazil, coupled with the return of Patrice Evra and Franck Ribery as well as the key form of certain players, notably Karim Benzema, France will look to secure a very comfortable win on Friday. Expect plenty of attacking - Luxembourg would be happy to restrict Les Bleus to three goals or less.
Luxembourg 0-4 France
