France could place one foot in the knockout stage of the UEFA Women's European Championships should they beat Wales in their second game of Group D on Wednesday night in Switzerland. Les Bleues impressively beat holders England 2-1 in their opening match of the tournament, while debutants Wales lost 3-0 to the Netherlands.

France Women vs Wales Women prediction: Another French win inevitable?
Key stats
- France have won nine games in a row in all competitions.
- Wales are winless in seven matches in all competitions.
- France have won the previous four H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: France Women 3-0 Wales Women
France will rightfully be huge favourites to claim all three points, and it may just be a matter of how many they score against Wales. Of their nine successive wins in all competitions, six of them have seen them also keep a clean sheet, so we could well see another Les Bleues win to-nil.

- HOME: 1/16 (1.06) – 94.1%
- DRAW: 11/1 (12.00) – 8.3%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As shown by the implied probabilities, France are massive favourites to take home all three points. A draw and a Wales win are both rated at under 10% chance, therefore extremely unlikely to happen.

France Women preview: Unchanged XI?
France will strongly consider keeping with the same starting XI that impressively beat England last time out. Goalscorers Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore should both start once again.
Predicted lineup: Peyraud-Magnin (GK); De Almeida, Lakrar, Sombath, Bacha; Geyoro, Jean-Francoise, Karchaoui; Cascarino, Katoto & Baltimore

Wales Women preview: Keep the faith?
Wales actually played well against the Netherlands in the first half last time out, but in the end the Dutch's superior quality took over. Therefore, the Welsh could look to stick with a similar XI that started that match so promisingly, with veteran Jess Fishlock set to continue as a false nine.
Predicted lineup: Clark (GK); Green, Roberts, Evans, Morgan, Woodham; Holland, James-Turner, Ladd, Cain & Fishlock

Player to watch: Delphine Cascarino
Delphine Cascarino was the pick of a very good crop of France players against England. Indeed, the winger tore left-back Jess Carter apart, so much so that Wiegman decided to take her off early in the second half.
Cascarino put a brilliant ball in for Katoto to open the scoring for Les Bleues, grabbing herself a first assist of the tournament. There is certainly more to come from her, and she could experience some joy again up against relative minnows in Wales.
