Group A
With France
being clearly the strongest, being the hosts and the most experienced, it’s
hard to imagine a scenario where Switzerland doesn’t achieve qualification
themselves. If football was just the numbers, would be a safe bet that both
teams will have six points after two games.
That leaves Romania and Albania with the task
of fighting the odds, knowing that they will always have the last match to win,
and that might be enough to qualify as a 3rd best.
FIL’S Prediction –
1st – France
2nd – Switzerland
3rd – Romania
4th – Albania
France will top the group if they can
eliminate any doubts about their defensive quality, that have been the talk
with all the injuries that have been affecting the team. Another big issue with
Les Blues are the problems off pitch,
with this year’s big trouble being Benzema’s case.
The order of the games was very helpful for
Switzerland that knows that this a great chance to easily qualify for the
knockout stages and even dream to beat France in the last game.
It feels that Iordanescu’s experience might be
determinant for Romania’s team to have a better fighting chance than Albania,
but both those teams know that they are not expected to shine. And that might
free them to play with more courage and without any fear of failing.
