France hosts Kazakhstan in round 9 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, November 13th at Parc des Princes (Paris)
The national team of France takes 1st place in the standings with 12 points. In six rounds, the Blues gained three victories and three draws. The French national team is coming to the end of the qualification in a good mood. In October, the reigning world champions achieved victory in the UEFA Nations League. On the way to the trophy, the Blues beat Belgium (3-2) and Spain (2-1) and partially made amends for their inglorious performance at Euro 2020. In the qualifying group, the French didn’t work like dogs and even allowed themselves to tie against their competitors. Even that was enough to provide a 3-point lead over the second-ranked Ukrainians who played one more match.

Talgat Baysufinov's team is in the 5th position in the qualifying group with three points scored. The Hawks chalked up three draws and five defeats in seven rounds. The Kazakhstani national team has no tournament motivation. Regardless of the result of the match against the French, Baysufinov's players will remain on the last line in the group. The performance of the Hawks turned out to be ambiguous: they had no victories in this qualification, but they surprised everyone with draws against Ukraine (1-1 and 2-2) and Bosnia & Herzegovina (2-2). In October, the Kazakhs had two unsuccessful home matches, losing to the Finns and Bosnians with the same score of 0-2. Those failures deprived the Hawks of a theoretical chance of qualifying from the group.
These teams crossed paths in March in the capital of Kazakhstan. The French dealt with the home team without making significant efforts (0-2). Ousmane Dembele scored for the Blues, and the defender of the Kazakhs Serhiy Malyi sent the ball into his own net. Kilian Mbappe missed the chance to convert the penalty kick in the 2nd half. France must resolve the issue of winning the group in the upcoming match. Kazakhstanis do not have the experience and class to effectively resist the reigning world champions. A loss with few conceded goals in Paris would be an acceptable result for the group's outsiders. In the current qualification, the French are distinguished by their pragmatism: they have scored only eight times and conceded three goals in six rounds. In all games in France, no more than two goals were recorded, and even the low class of the opponent will not force Deschamps players to prove themselves in the attack.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored
