France vs Greece Prediction
France will be the favorites to win against almost any international side given the abundance of talent they possess, and every loss that the team suffers is counted as an upset.
Some stars like Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante have either retired or have seen their importance diminish for the national team. But the emergence of young stars like Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Randal Kolo Muani has meant that France have not skipped a beat.
The squad is jam-packed with exciting talents and established superstars, but there remain questions about Didier Deschamps and whether he is the right man for this national side.
Greece, on the other hand, also have some renowned names in the squad, including Liverpool left-back Kostas Tsimikas and Benfica goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos. AZ Alkmaar striker Vangelis Pavlidis has been a regular goalscorer in the Eredivisie. The 24-year-old's form has not gone unnoticed, with Borussia Monchengladbach reportedly keen on his services.
France have enough and should emerge victorious here.
Prediction: France 3-0 Greece
