France vs Azerbaijan: Match Preview

Deschamps has been in post since 2012 and is the manager who steered Les Bleus to consecutive World Cup finals in 2018 and 2022, winning the first.

Qualification isn't the target for France. They haven't failed to qualify since 1994, exactly halfway through Deschamps' international playing career. Winning the competition is the aim.

The French squad features six Premier League players including uncapped Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. The 28-year-old has been challenged by Deschamps to prove himself by matching his club form in a France shirt.

Azerbaijan were beaten 5-0 in Iceland in their first qualifier but recovered from a goal down to draw with Ukraine in Baku last month.

The only encounters between these teams were a pair of qualifiers for the European Championship in 1996. France won their home game 10-0 in Auxerre. Deschamps played the whole game.
