Matildas vs France Expectations
- It wouldn’t be too big of a surprise if Matildas lose this game. They showed valiant defiance so far, but France are winning left and right.
- Three or more goals should be what we will see at Suncorp Stadium, as three of France’s four World Cup games ended with plenty of goals.
- We probably won’t get to see both teams score a goal, as not only did France keep a clean sheet in their previous World Cup game, but Morocco couldn’t make a single shot on target in 90 minutes of football.

Matildas vs France Lineups & Team News
Matildas
This isn’t going to be Matildas’ first rodeo against European teams in the World Cup tournament. In the last round of football, we saw Australia crush favorites Denmark. The game at Stadium Australia ended 2-0 in favor of the home side in a match that could’ve gone either way, considering the Danish side didn’t do badly at all. Australia aren’t favorites in this game. France are. But with the right approach, we could see Matildas advance to the next stage of World Cup football.
Predicted lineup – Arnold (GK), Carpenter, Hunt, Kennedy, Catley, Raso, Gorry, Cooney-Cross, Foord, Fowler & van Egmond
France
The French are cruising to a World Cup triumph this year! The team is crushing one opponent after the other, and there’s no telling how far France can soar in this World Cup showdown. The European team is expected to win the game against Australia and advance to the semi-finals, but Le Sommer and hear teammates will have to be at their lethal best, as Matildas already showed they are no pushovers.
Predicted lineup – Magnin (GK), Perisset, Renard, De Almeida, Karchaoui, Dali, Geyoro, Toletti, Bacha, Le Sommer & Diani
Player to Watch: Eugenie Le Sommer
If you are going to watch the Australia vs France game, you should keep an eye out for Eugenie Le Sommer. France’s #9 is performing her heart out for her country this year. In the round-of-16 clash against Morocco, Eugenie bagged a lovely brace for France. She bossed the penalty box like it was her own, and it’s a mystery how she didn’t score her first World Cup hat-trick. Prior to this game, Le Sommer also scored a 17th-minute opener against much-admired Brazil. If Australia want to advance to the next stage of World Cup football, nullifying Eugenie Le Sommer should be a key priority.
Matildas vs France: Where to Watch?
The Australia vs France clash is undoubtedly a long-anticipated game, but one that will receive a fair amount of coverage. You can tune into FOX Sports, FOX Sports app, or FOX Sports website if you wish to watch the game. Other good options include Telemundo and Peacock.
