Pavard Set To Start As Kounde Misses Out | 4-3-3 France Predicted Lineup Vs Switzerland | OneFootball

France will lock horns with Switzerland at the National Arena Bucharest on Monday night, hoping to pick up a win and secure a place in the knockout stages of the Euro 2020 tournament. Les Blues will be coming into the match on the back of a thrilling 2-2 draw vs Portugal. On the other hand, Vladimir Petkovic’s men recorded a 3-1 victory over Turkey on Matchday 3. Didier Deschamps will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game, as Benjamin Pavard looks likely to get the nod over Jules Kounde.

4-3-3 France Predicted Lineup Vs Switzerland

Defence

Hugo Lloris is expected to start in goal for the upcoming clash. The Tottenham shot-stopper would be looking to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Monday.

Presnel Kimpembe will continue to form the centre-half partnership with Raphael Varane at the heart of France’s backline.

Lucas Hernandez is expected to start at the left-back position, whereas Benjamin Pavard will fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The duo would be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.

Midfield

N’Golo Kante might start in the holding midfield position. However, the Chelsea star could be assigned more of a defensive role to shield the away side’s back-four.

Corentin Tolisso will slot into the central midfield role, whereas Paul Pogba is expected to start in the attacking midfield position. The Manchester United man would be determined to set up some clear cut goal scoring chances for the front men.

Adrien Rabiot will have to settle for a place on the bench initially. However, he could be brought on in the second half of the match if needed.

Attack

Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right-wing respectively.

Karim Benzema is expected to lead the line for his side against Switzerland. The 33-year-old striker bagged a brace against Portugal, and he’ll hope to repeat the same when he faces off against the Swiss defence that has conceded five goals in their last three games.
