France takes on the visitors Luxembourg at "Stadium Municipal" in the gameweek eight of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Toulouse on Sunday, September 3rd.
The French should be grateful for their calendar in the qualifying competition as after a difficult clash against the Netherlands this Thursday they don't have to go on the road plus their upcoming opponent is far not so strong. This means that Didier Deschamps and his squad can do their best next Thursday fight which will be decisive for the French in terms of battle for a direct pass to the Mundial. On the eve of the autumn stage of the qualifying campaign France gained two victories in two encounters in face of its supporters: 4:1 over Bulgaria and 2:1 over Sweden.

Luxembourg takes the usual last place in the Group A and only a miracle would allow this minor football team to get up from the sixth position of the group standings after 10 rounds of the qualification. The forthcoming battle in France is first of all a good opportunity to show off itself against the notable opponents as the visiting side has no chances to get any point.
The initial head-to-head between France and Luxembourg dates back to 1934 and since then the teams have already met 14 times with all of the clashes having been won by "Les Bleus" with 55:6 aggregated score. The French won 3:1 in the reverse fixture on the road and I believe that Didier Deschamps' side will win at the home field with no smaller margin.
Prediction for the match: France to win with -2.5 Asian handicap.
