France host Northern Ireland in a friendly at the Decathlon Arena after losing 1-2 to Ivory Coast at home four days ago. Northern Ireland arrive on the back of a 1-0 win over Guinea but were beaten 2-0 by Italy in World Cup qualifying. The bookmakers heavily favour France at 1.16 with Northern Ireland out at 23.00.
This should be a controlled encounter with France dominating possession but Northern Ireland sitting deep to frustrate. France's recent 1-2 loss to Ivory Coast showed they can struggle to break down organised defences, while Northern Ireland have managed just three goals in five games. The visitors will likely defend in numbers and look for set pieces or counter-attacks through the flanks. France's ability to stay patient and find the breakthrough will determine whether this becomes a routine win or a frustrating evening.
