October 5, 2016

France vs Bulgaria
European Qualifiers – 2018 World Cup
Date: Friday, 7th October 2016
Kick-off: 19:45 UK
Venue: Saint-Denis, France.

France had a disappointing start to their World Cup Qualification campaign after surrendering to a goal-less draw to minnows Belarus.

Hungary vs Switzerland
European Qualifiers – 2018 World Cup
Date: Friday, 7th October 2016
Kick-off: 19:45 UK
Venue: Groupama Arena, Budapest.

Hungary would have disappointed after being held to a goal-less draw by one of the weakest side in Europe in their opening match of the World Cup qualifiers. The surprise packages of the just commenced Euro 2016, were hardly at their usual fluency and rightfully punished as Faroe Islands stole a vital point. The Group B is one of the toughest in the qualifiers, with Portugal and Switzerland very much the favourites to win the group. Dropping points against sides like Faroe Islands could cost them dearly in the long run.
