France/Northern Ireland – Predicted line-ups for the friendly | OneFootball

This Monday, the France national team will play in a friendly match against Northern Ireland at 9:10 p.m. at Stade Pierre Mauroy. On the eve of the match, Le Parisien and L’Equipe tried to predict the lineups that will be selected by France manager Didier Deschamps and his Northern Irish counterpart Michael O’Neill. The match concerns 5 Paris Saint-Germain players, all French: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé. 2 are expected to start.

France (4-2-3-1) –

Mbappé

Doué – Olise - Dembélé

Rabiot – Tchouaméni

T. Hernandez – Saliba – Upamecano – Koundé

Maignan.

Northern Ireland (3-4-2-1) –

Donley

Price – Morrison

Devenny – S. Charles – McDonnell – Smyth

Brown – McConville – Atcheson

P. Charles

These are entirely plausible lineups, with the French team being one for which the media are generally reliable. Even if there can always be surprises, Didier Deschamps has no shortage of options with such a deep squad. In any case, with this final friendly before the World Cup, Les Bleus should once again rotate during the match in order to prepare as well as possible.

As for Northern Ireland, the main objective is simply to finish as well as possible with the players available. It will probably be a rather defensive team, but one that could still produce some good things by playing without pressure.
