A thrilling match is in prospect on Saturday, as the two leading chances in Group F lock horns in Brisbane. Brazil kicked off their campaign with a victory, and a win over France would secure their spot in the knockout stage with a game to spare.
Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview
It was a sensational and dramatic start to proceedings in Group F at the Women’s World Cup this week, with Brazil currently sitting top of the standings as the only nation that was able to collect maximum points. Their win was full of attacking flair, including an early goal of the tournament contender netted by Bian Zanerrato. It was also a standout performance from Ary Borges, as the 23-year-old became just the fifth different player to score a hat-trick on their World Cup debut.
The win means that Brazil has now landed victories in each of the opening nine editions of the World Cup, and they have scored a staggering 27 goals over that period and have allowed just one. However, this will be a bigger test of their quality in terms of going deep in the competition this year.
France once again flattered to deceive on their opening showing at the World Cup this year, as they couldn’t find a way through against lowly-ranked Jamaica. The French could only manage five shots on target in that opening night 0-0 draw, but their rivals were fully deserving of a historic tie to kick off their World Cup campaign.
The stalemate marked only the second time in World Cup history that France have failed to kick off their campaign with a victory. But, they have kept clean sheets in each of their opening four matches on the opening day.
France vs Brazil Head to Head
This will be a third meeting between Brazil and France at the World Cup. The first clash came in 2003, and saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, France landed a 2-1 win after extra-time in the previous edition of the tournament at the quarterfinal stage.
France vs Brazil Prediction
It would be fair to say that Brazil are a better team than they were four years ago, while France has regressed slightly. Therefore, we could see the South American side putting down a marker for the tournament ahead by landing a comfortable 2-0 win.
