The Israeli national football team is set to face France at the Stade de France tonight in a crucial Nations League match, aiming to replicate their historic victory from 31 years ago. Despite a challenging campaign with four losses, Israel managed to score in each match but struggled defensively, conceding easy goals. The match comes amid heightened security concerns due to rising anti-Semitism and recent attacks on Israeli supporters in Europe, prompting a significant police presence at the stadium.
France, currently second in their group, is looking for a victory to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the Nations League. The team will be without star player Kylian Mbappé, who has been left out for the second consecutive match. France's recent form includes a win against Belgium, and they are one point behind Italy in the standings. The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:45 p.m. local time and will be broadcast on TF1.
