Defending champions France will aim to assure themselves of a spot in Qatar when they welcome Kazakhstan to the Parc des Princes on Sunday for 2022 FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifying encounter. Both Group D sides have had contrasting fortunes so far in the Qualifying rounds. The Les Blues France top the group (12 points) and predictably will seal their place with a win over Kazakhstan, they can also qualify with a draw if Bosnia vs Finland game is a draw too. Didier Deschamps’s side come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over former champions Spain in the final of the UEFA Nations League.
Meanwhile, their visitors Kazakhstan lost 2-0 to Markku Finland in their most recent game, which means their first-ever World Cup appearance as an independent nation has been extended for at least another four years. The 125th-ranked nation has already been consigned to a fifth-placed standing, as they the only team in the group who have failed to win any of their seven Qualifying games so far. However, the team has three points in World Cup 2022 Qualifying in previous draws with Bosnia and Ukraine whom they impressively held twice in Group D.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers Group J match between France vs Kazakhstan, will kick off at 01:15 am (IST).
