World Cup winners France will resume their EURO 2020 qualifying campaign against minnows Albania. Live Soccer TV's preview provides match info, team news, and global broadcast listings for France vs. Albania.

Preview: France vs Albania

France have lost just one game in 2019, and that was a shock 2-0 reversal to Turkey on June 8th. Les Bleus more than made up for that three days later as they crushed minnows Andorra 4-0 and they will certainly be expected to replicate the same kind of performance as they take on another minnow, Albania, on home turf this Saturday before welcoming Andorra three days later.

Although France will be missing some notable players for this game and Albania will be determined to cause their hosts problems, they will nonetheless be the heavy favorites to pick up all three points here. Didier Deschamps's side have a formidable home record - they have not lost a qualifying home game in well over six years and it's hard to see how Albania will become the team to break that long-standing record this Saturday.

Meanwhile, in midfield, Paul Pogba has now withdrawn from the squad, which also leaves a huge hole in the middle of the park as Chelsea star N'Golo Kante is also out. And in defense, Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte is also out.

That being said, France still have more than enough quality to see off their opponents - both in this match and the next one. That's despite there being no room in the team for players like Anthony Martial, Dimitri Payet and Alexandre Lacazette.
