It’s the biggest match of the group stage so far as France take on Germany. Group F is full of eye-catching matchups but this is the biggest. It’s a classic rivalry between two of the most successful nations in European football.
It’s the first time these two nations have met in the group stage of this competition. It’s the sixth time they have played one another in a major tournament and the record is tight. France and Germany have won two matches each and the other finished all square.
The last time they faced off at a major tournament was in the semi-finals of this competition back in 2016. France won that one 2-0 after two goals from Antoine Griezmann. The Barcelona man is the top scorer in the history of this fixture with four goals.
It’s rare for a fixture of this calibre to feature so early at a major tournament. The group stage draw means that fixtures like this will be commonplace in Group F. The holders, Portugal face off against Hungary in the other match. They are massive favourites to secure the three points so these two sides can’t stand to fall behind.
Eye-catching recalls have been a theme for these two nations. Karim Benzema returned to the France squad for the first time in almost seven years. He has played both warm-up matches for Les Bleus. Germany welcomed back Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller for the first time since 2018.
Benzema and co have the edge with the bookies. France are 2.70 to secure three vital points in Group F. Germany are just behind at 2.75. It’s 3.10 for a draw which shows that the bookmakers just don’t know which way this match is going.

We could see an entertaining and rather feisty match. Both of these teams have excellent attacking players and some weaknesses in their backlines. It wouldn’t be surprising to see both sides find the net and plenty of shooting opportunities.
France’s Antoine Griezmann has had more goal involvements at major tournaments than any other European player in the last two tournaments.
Indiscipline may be a theme here. That was the case the last time these sides met in the European Championships. Six players received bookings in France’s 2-0 win back in 2016. Over 3 cards wouldn’t be surprising.
