NGA-W vs FRA-W Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

Nigeria face France in a must-win game in their last group game in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup at Roazhon Park.


Teams: Nigeria and France

World Ranking:

  • Nigeria: 38
  • France: 4

——————————————————————————————————————————-

Group A:

  • With two wins in as many games, France are currently leading the table, scoring six times and conceding just one.
  • The hosts are almost guaranteed a place in the last-16. For them, the worst case scenario is a win for Norway against South Korea, and they themselves lose to Nigeria by at least 3-0. Too hypothetical! So, France are through.

  • Nigeria meanwhile won their first game in the FIFA Women’s World Cup since 2011 after beating South Korea 2-0.
  • The win could prove to be crucial for Super Falcons as even if they lose to the hosts in their next game, they can still secure a berth at the last-16 by finishing as one of the 3rd best teams at the group stage.

Match Details:

The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 match will be played between Nigeria and France at Stade de la Route de Lorient (Roazhon Park), in Rennes, Brittany, France. The ground has a capacity of 29,778.
The game will start at 12:30 AM (IST), Tuesday, June 18.
