Team News 

Kylian Mbappe is still not playing for France, who will also be without injured trio Wesley Fofana, Loic Bade and Aurelien Tchouameni. 

N'Golo Kante and Adrien Rabiot could, however, come into the side and Randal Kolo Muani is expected to spearhead the French attack again. 

Dor Turgeman has withdrawn from the Israel squad due to injury and joins Omri Glazer on the sidelines, but captain Eli Dasa is back. 

France -2 goals on handicap @ 19/20

France ran out 4-1 winners when they took on Israel only last month and a similarly ruthless performance could be on the cards when the teams reconvene in Paris. 

Les Bleus opened their Nations League campaign with a 3-1 defeat to Italy in September but have since beaten Belgium home and away either side of the Israel victory to claim nine points from the last nine available. 

Kylian Mbappe has been left out of the latest squad by Didier Deschamps - a decision which has prompted criticism from some of his players - but the French team still has plenty of attacking firepower. 

Talents such as Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise will likely support Randal Kolo Muani up top and France should rack up the goals on home soil. 

Israel have lost their last two matches 4-1 and they have been beaten in four of their seven games in 2024 by a three-goal margin, so it is worth backing the French to prevail by three goals or more on Wednesday. 

Bet Builder - Over 2.5 goals, Randal Kolo Muani to score and Mohammad Abu Fani to be carded @ 5/1 

When looking at Bet Builder options for this clash at the Stade de France, punters should start with over 2.5 goals. That is a wager which has clicked in all seven of Israel's matches this year and France are expected to run rampant. 

Randal Kolo Muani has struck three goals in this season's Nations League and is also a good pick to get on the scoresheet. 

In the card markets, meanwhile, Mohammad Abu Fani is worth backing to be carded. The Israel midfielder has already received one yellow card in the competition and has committed three fouls.
