Armenia U21 vs France U21 prediction, preview, team news and more | 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship Qualifier

The qualifiers for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship continue next week and will see Armenia U21 host France U21 at the Yerevan Football Academy Stadium on Monday.

Armenia U21 have endured an abysmal qualification campaign, winning just one of their seven games so far. They were beaten 3-1 by North Macedonia U21 in their last game, squandering the early lead they held via an Erik Simonyan header.

The home team sit bottom of the group table with just three points from eight games and will miss out on the continental showpiece next year.

France U21, on the other hand, have enjoyed a brilliant run in the qualifiers and are inching ever closer to securing a spot in the tournament next year. They beat Serbia U21 2-0 in their last game, with OGC Nice youngsters Khepren Thuram and Amine Gouiri getting on the scoresheet in either half.

The visitors sit top of the group with 22 points from eight games. They will now be looking to continue their qualification charge with a win on Monday.
