- 法国队在过去的五场比赛中赢了四场，其中三场保持不失球
- 三年前，法国队在巴黎以8比0击败哈萨克斯坦队，并以10比0赢得了之前与阿塞拜疆队的比赛
- 阿塞拜疆在上一场比赛中以5比0输给了冰岛，去年年底以6比0负于瑞典
在巴黎大败在望
周五，法国和阿塞拜疆将在巴黎举行世界杯预选赛，这是两国第三次交锋；对于一支从未真正能够在国际赛场上和大个子一起生活的球队来说，这支球队的素质和深度太高了。
费尔南多·桑托斯（Fernando Santos）在球队被解雇后，阿塞拜疆人将在看守老板的带领下抵达法国首都；上个月，他在冰岛以5比0惨败。这位前欧洲锦标赛冠军葡萄牙队经历了两场平局和九场失利，其中包括去年年底对瑞典队的另一场重负。
前21岁以下主教练Aykhan Abbasov不太可能在他担任看守教练以来的有限时间内对一支缺乏信心和质量的球队做太多事情。冰岛队以几个定位球结束了这场胜利，这是他们的传统优势，但他们为其他三个进球在阿塞拜疆队中开辟的方式表明了法国队；那些耀眼的明星们将大放异彩。
阿塞拜疆人将试图阻止法国失控
在2比1战胜冰岛的比赛中，两名先发球员马库斯·图拉姆和布拉德利·巴科拉无法上场，奥雷连·特查梅尼在那场比赛中被罚下场后被停赛，法国队的实力还不够。
但状态不错的二人组Kylian Mbappe和Michael Olise很可能会加入Hugo Ekitike和Kingsley Coman的行列，而这场冲突看起来是Deschamps给摩纳哥新星Maghnes Akliouche另一个帽子的理想机会。
法国队在1995年最后一次交锋时以10比0击败了阿塞拜疆队，如果他们早点领先，就有可能取得类似的比分。客队可能会以5-4-1的阵型阵型，这使他们上次能够以1-1战平乌克兰，但这可能只会阻止法国失控。
- France have won four of their last five games, keeping clean sheets in three
- France beat Kazakhstan 8-0 in Paris three years ago and won the previous clash with the Azeris 10-0
- Azerbaijan lost 5-0 to Iceland in their last match and 6-0 to Sweden late last year
Heavy defeat on the cards in Paris
France should overwhelm Azerbaijan when the two nations meet for only the third time on Friday for a World Cup qualifier in Paris. Didier Deschamps’ side have far too much quality and depth for a team that have never really been able to live with the big boys at international level.
The Azeris will arrive in the French capital under a caretaker boss after Fernando Santos was effectively sacked following his side’s 5-0 humiliation in Iceland last month. The former European Championship winner with Portugal had overseen a woeful run of two draws and nine defeats, including another heavy one to Sweden late last year.
It is unlikely that former Under-21 boss Aykhan Abbasov can do much with a squad low on confidence and quality in the limited time he has had since taking caretaker charge. Iceland bookended that win with a couple of set-piece goals, which is their traditional strength, but the way they carved through the Azeri side for the other three goals suggests France’s flamboyant stars will have a field day.
Azeris will attempt to stop France from running amok
Les Bleus are not quite at full strength with Marcus Thuram and Bradley Barcola, two starters in their 2-1 win over Iceland, unavailable and Aurélien Tchouaméni suspended after getting sent off in that game.
But in-form duo Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise are likely to be joined by Hugo Ekitike and Kingsley Coman while this clash looks like an ideal chance for Deschamps to give Monaco starlet Maghnes Akliouche another cap.
France thrashed Azerbaijan 10-0 when they last met in 1995 and a scoreline approaching something like that could be possible if they get their noses in front early. The visitors are likely to set up in a 5-4-1 formation, which enabled them to earn a 1-1 draw with Ukraine last time out, but that may only stem the tide enough to prevent France from running amok.
