Since losing in the semi finals of Euro 2022, France have been in imperious form with seven wins and a draw from their eight games. That run has included fine victories over high ranking opposition such as Canada and Denmark. They will go into their final warm up game full of confidence. ,
Much of the recent French success has been down to legendary veterans Wendie Renard and Eugenie Le Sommer. Between them, they have over 320 caps and 120 goals. The chances of French success will hinge on those two players producing one more memorable campaign.

Australia also come into Friday’s game on a fine run of form. After a terrible 2022 Gold Cup campaign, they have turned things around with eight wins in their last nine games. That run includes impressive victories over Spain and England, although a 0-2 defeat to Scotland was somewhat less impressive.

Sam Kerr is the Matilda’s star player. The Chelsea forward has enjoyed yet another prolific season, and her record of 63 goals in 120 internationals puts her up with the world’s very best.
Head to Head
The two sides have only played each other three times previously, and have not met since 2007. On that occasion, France came from 2-0 down at half time to win 3-2. Overall, France lead the head to head by two wins to one.

With no recent head to head record to use, our statistical highlights focus on the recent form of the two sides, as well as their record in competitive fixtures. Although it is worth noting that as this is a friendly, both sides may experiment with their lineups and make multiple substitutions.

Our Betting Tip for Today

Most betting apps have France as marginal favourites at 23/10, with the Matildas at 27/10 and the draw at 2/1. Our sports betting tip for today will take into account that this is both sides’ final game before the World Cup. So not only will both managers likely make plenty of changes, but many big name players could be withdrawn early to avoid injury.

Both of these teams are valued at 10/1 to win the World Cup, which suggests they are very evenly matched. That is backed up by the closeness of the football betting odds for this warm up game. And whilst the bookies have France as favourites, we think the value lies in the draw at 2/1.

With the World Cup just days away, neither side will want to pick up any last minute injuries, so expect a low key affair, lacking in drama and goalmouth action. The likes of Kerr and Le Sommer may even be rested, which will significantly decrease the goal threat of both sides.
