Live football Australia vs France quarter-finals Women's World Cup 2023

Australia vs France Prediction

Australia and France are the most notable match in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Women's World Cup. Host Australia showed that they played better in each match. The convincing victory over Denmark in the round of 16 created a great buzz among fans in the land of kangaroos.

On the other side of the front line, the French women's team has no shortage of stars but they have never passed the quarter-finals of a Women's World Cup. The French Football Federation does not want to miss out on a golden generation and they decided to bring in coach Herve Renard to lead the women's team with the aim of making history. Convincing the coach who just created an earthquake in Saudi Arabia is not easy.

Under Renard's leadership, France's attack was not really excellent, but the team's organization was significantly improved. The French girls were ready to focus on defense before thinking about attacking and scoring, even against weak opponents.

Veteran centre-back Wendy Renard has been built as the team's centre-back. She commands the defence but is also ready to push forward to support the midfielders.

In addition, Diani, Bacha and Le Sommer form an extremely dangerous attacking trident. Diani has speed and a strong physical foundation. Bacha plays skillfully on the left wing. She combines with Karchaoui to become a formidable drill. The person responsible for both connecting and finishing the situation is the main striker Le Sommer.

At 34, Le Sommer may not be at full fitness for the full 90 minutes, but the Lyon striker's dribbling and walling can be effective. In fact, if France do well in attack, they could score many goals against Australia. The home defenders are not great defenders.

Meanwhile, Australia certainly won’t accept defeat at home. Coach Tony Gustavsson knows what he needs to do to strengthen his defense. He has considered bringing key striker Sam Kerr back into the starting lineup.

The Chelsea player had a few minutes of play in the round of 16. Indeed, Sam Kerr still showed her class as the number 1 star of the kangaroo country. Every time this striker touched the ball, she threatened the opponent's goal. However, Australia probably understood that they could not risk playing an open game. A defensive counter-attacking tactic was the reasonable choice.
