France women preview: Hoping to clinch their spot at Euro
After winning all three of their games in Group 3 of the Euro 2025 qualifiers, France are one win away from securing one of the first two places in the group. This will be enough for them to qualify directly and avoid playoffs, which would be a great result considering they're in a group with two World Cup semi-finalists, England and Sweden.
Eugenie Le Sommer, France's top scorer in history, is out with an injury.
Predicted lineup: Peyraud-Magnin – Lakrar, Renard, De Almeida, Karchaoui – Dali, Toletti, Bacha – Diani, Cascarino, Katoto

Player to watch: Marie-Antoinette Katoto
With Le Sommer out, the biggest offensive load will fall on the shoulders of Katoto. However, she's proved many times before that she has the quality needed to be the first offensive weapon as she already has 29 goals in just 38 appearances for the French national team.
Will Katoto score against England once more?
After scoring the winning goal for France in the previous duel with England last week, Katoto will try to do the same on Tuesday.
