Israel vs France: match preview
After losing their Group A2 opener to Italy in September, France are playing catch-up on the Azzurri, who lead the section by three points ahead of the French and the Belgians. Les Bleus faced Belgium on matchday two last month, beating Les Diables Rouges 2-0 thanks to goals by Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembélé.
Israel, who are playing their home games in the Hungarian capital due to the security situation in the Middle East, are pointless after defeats to Belgium and Italy.
Why isn’t Mbappé playing against Israel?
France will be missing star striker Kylian Mbappé for both the Israel clash and the matchday-four trip to Belgium on Monday. Having recently had a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, the Real Madrid star is to spend international week working on his fitness at his club’s Valdebebas training ground.
Didier Deschamps’ men will also be without Antoine Griezmann, who last week announced his retirement from international soccer, following a 10-year France career. The Atlético Madrid forward won 137 caps for the French, playing a key role in the country’s 2018 World Cup triumph.
What time does Israel vs France start?
The 2024/25 UEFA Nations League matchday-three clash between Israel and France will be played at Bozsik Aréna in Budapest, Hungary, on Thursday October 10, 2024. Kick-off is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET/11:45 a.m. PT.
