Given recent performances and available players, each team is entirely credible. Even so, we remain cautious, as coaches don’t always reveal their choices to the press. Surprises are still possible. We’ll therefore wait for the official announcement for certainty, except for the expectation of a very competitive starting eleven on each side. The French team, in particular, is highly anticipated.
