FRA vs FIN Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for France vs Finland World Cup Qualifiers Live Score September 8

FRA vs FIN Dream11: France’s struggles continued as they failed to win for the fifth game in succession in all competitions with a draw with Ukraine the best they could do in their clash at the weekend. That came on the back of being held by Bosnia-Herzegovina to make it back-to-back qualifying clashes without a victory. They still sit at the top of the Group D standings and boast a four-point lead over opponents Finland, although the away side have two games in hand. They are unbeaten in their three games having earned their first win of qualifying against Kazakhstan at the weekend but their lack of goals could be an issue here and with their last seven matches producing no more than two goals, under three goals could be a safe call here with the Finns hoping to further frustrate the world champions.
