France
LWWWWW 🔥
France head into the meeting following a 3-0 WC win to defeat Sweden in their previous game.

Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Paraguay certainly have the ability to put one past this France lineup, but a single goal may not be enough to avoid a loss.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a close game with a 1-2 victory for France when the referee blows the final whistle. It really should be an interesting one.
