France v Lithuania part II

Les Bleus head into tonight's second match with Lithuania looking to keep their momentum going and get the full compliment of 3 points which is vital with Serbia idle it can bring Les Bleus back to the second spot in the group just 2 points behind Serbia. Once more, Les Bleus will walk onto the pitch with a different line up than this past weekend. With Toulalan suspended there will have to be a new midfielder to shoulder Diarra.

So here is the line up -

Mandanda - Evra, Squillaci, Gallas, Sagna - A. Diarra, L. Diarra, Gourcuff, Ribéry, Luyindula - Henry

Again, not a huge surprise. The two Diarras will shoulder one another at the holding midfield spots. And not a surprise, that Domenech shows little creativity - no Benzema at the point, no Nasri in midfield....oh well. The stars were probably aligned just right again.

Regardless Les Bleus should win this match. I predict France 3 - Lithaunia 1. Ribery (1), Luyindula (2).
