France will be aiming to keep their 100% record in Group D intact when they take on Azerbaijan at Parc des Princes. Les Tricolores are on a three-game winning run in all competitions and they are seen as hot favourites to win Friday’s clash as well. Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni misses out through suspension, with Crystal Palace attacker Jean-Philippe Mateta receiving his first call-up. AC Milan summer signing Christopher Nkunku is back to the squad. The Azeris, on the other hand, did well to hold Ukraine to a draw in their last World Cup qualifying game, but they will have a mountain to climb against Kylian Mbappe and Co. Back in 1995, France rolled over Azerbaijan 10-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The good news for the visitors is that Sabah Baku midfielder Abdulakh Khaybulaev has overcome his injury.
