Türkiye vs France Prediction

Türkiye host France on 25 September 2026 at 21:45 in UEFA Nations League Group A1. Zinedine Zidane takes charge of France for the first time after Didier Deschamps stepped down. Türkiye come in fresh from a disappointing World Cup campaign under Vincenzo Montella, though they hold a recent edge: a 2-0 home win over France during Euro 2020 qualifying. That result offers the hosts genuine confidence, but Zidane arrives with proven pedigree—three consecutive Champions League titles with Real Madrid between 2016 and 2018. France enter as clear favorites despite losing their last two matches.

Form and H2H

Türkiye have won twice and lost twice in their last four outings, scoring in each of those matches. France have dropped their previous two games. The teams drew 1-1 when they last met in October 2019, but Türkiye's 2-0 victory in June 2019 remains their most recent head-to-head result. Over their last ten matches, Türkiye average 1.85 goals for and 0.99 against at home. France average 2.40 goals for and 1.30 against away, with seven wins in their last ten road games.

Best bet

France to win. Zidane will demand an immediate statement from his squad in a competitive fixture, and France's away record—seven wins in ten—suggests they have the quality to deliver despite recent form. Melbet offer 1.4 on a France victory, 1xBet 1.43, and Mostbet 1.37.

Odds to watch

The draw sits at 4.88 with Melbet, 5 with 1xBet, and 4.5 with Mostbet. A Türkiye win is priced 7.4 by Melbet, 7.6 by 1xBet, and 7.3 by Mostbet. France's attacking depth—Mbappé, Olise, and Doué in the lineup—makes Over 2.5 goals worth monitoring, though exact pricing varies by operator.
