France are four points clear in second place in their qualifying group, as they look to secure one of two automatic places at Euro 2020. With a clash against Moldova coming up on Thursday, they are in a great position to wrap things up with a game to spare. The World Cup winners should have little trouble seeing off the visitors, with the big question seemingly how much will they win by? France have been unable to really break away from the chasing pack in recent weeks, despite their impressive displays in Russia last year. The hosts are in a strong position with only two games left to play, but they will want to wrap up their spot at the Euros as soon as possible. As the heavy favourites here, their attacking stars are expected to put on a show, but will Les Bleus beat the visitors as convincingly as some might expect?

Moldova head into this one with a terrible recent record, following seven defeats in eight matches. The visitors have been the least impressive side in a group which contains Andorra, so it has been far from a good campaign for them. Moldova did manage to score in their home loss to the French, but that’s unlikely this week with their recent record considered. The visitors have lost their last five games in this group without scoring, while they are fresh from a home defeat to Albania. As they prepare to meet a France side who have won four of their last five, many are predicting a huge gulf here. However, Moldova are going into this clash having conceded no more than four goals in a game so far this term. They’ve conceded 14 goals across their last five games, which works out at an average of less than three per game. That record could see them somewhat contain a French side who just need a result to get over the line. We can see a comfortable win for the hosts which would suit both parties as they move towards the end of this campaign.
