On July 16, 2024, in the first round of the UEFA U-19 Championship, a match will take place between the national teams of France and Turkey. The nominal favorite here is evident, but the game on the field will reveal the true outcome.
Key Statistics and Trends
- France: They have won only four of their last seven matches.
- Turkey: They have won thirteen of their last fourteen matches since last autumn.
- First Half Performance: France wins the first half in 20% of matches, while Turkey wins the first half in 50%.
Team Analysis
- France: "Les Bleuets" have periodically reached the championship title. However, two years ago, they were knocked out in the semifinals. They did not even qualify for the Euro 2023 held in Malta. In the current qualifiers, the team performed confidently but pragmatically, winning both of their first matches to secure the lead, then losing the final game. This was the case in the autumn (after successes against Estonia and Iceland, they lost to Denmark) and in March (after defeating Belgium and the Netherlands, they were down 0-2 to Lithuania by the sixth minute).
- Turkey: "The Janissaries" last played in the Euro in 2018, where they only reached the group stage. This has been their performance in recent tournaments, with their last notable success being a final appearance in 2004. The current team plays regularly, whether in qualifiers or friendlies, showing impressive statistics by defeating almost all opponents. The only exception was a match against Germany in March, which they lost 0-2. However, before that, they won the decisive qualifying round against Romania and Croatia, securing first place in the group.
