Match preview of France vs USA

It can not possibly get bigger than this with the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup host France set to welcome defending champions USA in a friendly encounter ahead of this summer's finals. With the Europeans almost ready to receive the rest of the world to its beautiful cities, they will also hope to get their personnel ready for what could be a historic host-and-win campaign if the cards are played right at the eighth edition of the intercontinental competition.

It will undoubtedly be a hefty tale to tell should Les Bleues secure global prestige and add to the legacy forged by their men's team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup held in Russia. But, first, the test to get the better of one of the tournament's favorites will present itself when it hosts USA on January 19 at the Stade Océane in Le Havre.

While France gained an automatic World Cup spot due to its status as the host nation, the USWNT secured its spot by scoring Jamaica 6-0 in the semi-final of the CONCACAF Women's Championship back in October 2018. Jill Ellis' women went on to lift the trophy by beating hosts Canada 2-0.

The three-time world champions approach the upcoming friendly against France with its last defeat dating as far back as November 2017 when they lost 1-0 to Australia at the Tournament of Nations. Since then, they have not put a foot wrong in their last 18 outings and will aim to keep the record intact coming up against France who momentarily sits fourth on the world rankings.

What is the form of France in contrast to USA's?

France approaches Saturday's clash with the Americans with seven wins in its last 10 matches across all competitions. The 2019 World Cup host is undefeated in its last seven games. Les Bleues' last loss came in a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of England during the SheBelieves Cup held in March 2018.

On the other hand, USA has an impressive unbeaten record in its last 18 games in all competitions. Jill Ellis' ladies have seen their worst results between the period being a draw against the opponent they face on Saturday at the last year's SheBelieves Cup and, subsequently, a one-all affair with Australia at the Tournament of Nations.

Who is available, injured or suspended for France vs USA?

U.S. head coach Jill Ellis has called 26 players for the upcoming games against France and Spain. The list includes three key players returning from injuries in the persons of Tierna Davidson, McCall Zerboni and Kelley O'Hara.

Relatively, France will have all of its personnel that featured in the last win over Brazil in November last year.
