France (2-2) and Turkey (0-4) meet up in the only game that doesn't hold any significance other than honour on the last day of the qualifying round.

Les Bleus will finish third in Group F regardless of the outcome of this game as they have beaten both Italy (1-3) and Germany (1-3) and would therefore hold the tiebreaker over both of them.
