Preview
France will look to keep their top spot and unbeaten run in the qualifiers intact as they welcome Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday.
The French side have secured 7 points from 3 matches with 2 wins to their name. They were one of the favourites to win the Euro 2020 but a shock loss against Switzerland in the Round of 16 stage dashed their dreams.
Lloris and Co have been solid in the qualifiers and will aim to continue their good show.
On the other hand, Bosnia and Herzegovina head into this one after a 2-0 loss against Denmark in a friendly clash.
Braithwaite and Cornelius scored the goals for the Danish side with Bosnia being winless in over 10 matches.
Bosnia are 2nd from bottom in the group table with just a point from 2 matches and need a performance of desire to back themselves.
