Overview

France are the hosts and they go into the European championship as one of the firm favourites to win the tournament. They will kick-start their campaign and Euro 2016 when they take on Romania in the opening match on Friday. 

They have a very balanced squad and the likes of experience in the defence, starting from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, full-backs Patrice Evra and Bacary Sagna will be crucial in their efforts to stop the opposition from scoring. 

Romania will be hoping to create an upset by beating the host nation on Friday. Should they manage to do so, it is likely to have a psychological impact on France for the remaining group stage fixtures.
