France vs Wales prediction
Under the management of Herve Renard, France underwhelmed but, since the appointment of Laurent Bonadei, they have been much-improved. They began their group stage campaign with an impressive 2-1 defeat of defending champions England, thanks to goals from Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore.
They now face a Wales side that have surpassed expectations by simply being in Switzerland, having qualified for their first ever women’s major tournament. The gulf between Wales and the rest of this extremely tough group was on show as they suffered a 3-0 loss to the Netherlands the other day.
If France win this one then the Dutch can eliminate champions England with a victory in the game before this one – and a French victory is to be expected.
