The French national team faces Northern Ireland this Monday at 9:10 PM CET. The match will be played at the Stade Pierre Mauroy in a friendly.

France suffered a slight setback with their 1-2 defeat against Ivory Coast last Thursday, although there’s nothing dramatic about a friendly match. A victory against Northern Ireland would be a huge confidence boost. The Irish team, which hasn’t qualified for the World Cup, will be looking to end their season on a high note after their 1-0 win against Guinea.
Of course, it’s still just a friendly, and the main focus is on preparing for the World Cup, with tactical and physical work. Today’s result is secondary. But it still matters. Let’s hope Les Bleus can put together the right ingredients for a good final preparation before facing Senegal on June 16th.
