France XI vs Brazil – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

France face Brazil in an international friendly at Gillette Stadium, as both World Cup contenders use the contest to sharpen their plans ahead of the 2026 tournament.

France booked their World Cup place automatically after going unbeaten through qualifying, underlining their consistency over the campaign.

Their latest fixture brought a 3-1 away victory over Azerbaijan, and the World Cup runners-up are now on a seven-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.

France team news

France is missing key names, with Arsenal centre-back William Saliba pulling out of Didier Deschamps’s squad and Roma midfielder Manu Kone also withdrawing, leaving Les Bleus a man light in midfield.

Barcelona defender Jules Kounde is unavailable for this month’s fixtures because of a hamstring injury, but despite those setbacks France still travel to the United States with a strong group, and Kylian Mbappe is expected to take centre stage.

The France captain has 55 international goals to his name, just two short of Olivier Giroud’s men’s national record of 57, and he is tipped to overtake that tally either in these warm-up matches or once the World Cup gets underway.

France predicted lineup

Possible France starting XI: Maignan; Gusto, Konate, Upamecano, T. Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Olise, Cherki, Mbappe; Dembele

When will the match kick off?

The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Thursday, 26th March.
