Azerbaijan v France: Press predicts much-changed 4-4-2 for Les Bleus | OneFootball

This Sunday, the French National Team will play in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan at 8:45 PM at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium. As the match approaches, Le Parisien and L’Equipe have tried to predict the lineup that coach Didier Deschamps will field. A match involving 4 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Bradley Barcola. 3 are expected to start in a major rotation.

Le Parisien (4-4-2) –

Ekitike – Mateta

Nkunku – Thuram – Zaïre-Emery – Akliouche

T. Hernandez – L. Hernandez – Konaté – Gusto

Chevalier.

L’Equipe (4-4-2) –

Ekitike – Mateta

Nkunku – Thuram – Zaïre-Emery – Akliouche

T. Hernandez – L. Hernandez – Konaté – Gusto

Chevalier.

All major media agree, and coach Didier Deschamps is less likely to surprise than Parisian coach Luis Enrique, so a lineup at least very close is expected. Especially since the rotation was announced in a press conference. Without specifying which players, except for Lucas Chevalier. But we can generally guess. Especially for the Parisians.

There are still some doubts, including the system with a possible 4-2-3-1 that could include Florian Thauvin.
