France - Turkiye
France and Turkiye meet for final Nations League group fixture
Sunday evening at Matmut Atlantique, France host Turkiye for matchday 6 of the UEFA Nations League A Group 1. The hosts enter this encounter looking to recover from a 3-1 defeat against Italy, while Turkiye arrive following a difficult run of results. France will be without several key figures, including Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Jules Kounde, Desire Doue, and Maxence Lacroix, forcing a reshuffle in their expected XI. Despite these absences, the side will aim to replicate the defensive solidity they displayed in their 1-0 victory over these same opponents back on 25 September 2026.
Turkiye face a significant challenge as they contend with the suspension of Ozan Kabak. Their recent form has been testing, highlighted by a 1-2 loss to Belgium in their most recent fixture. With Arda Guler and Enes Unal expected to lead the line, the visitors will look to disrupt the rhythm of a French team that previously demonstrated their quality with a 4-1 win over Belgium. Both nations will be determined to end their group campaign on a positive note in this final outing.
