Current form: France vs Korea
Hosts France come into this game having picked up a 2-1 victory over China in their last warm-up match prior to the upcoming 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. Overall, Les Bleues are in excellent form, with victories in six of their last seven games. The only blip was a narrow 1-0 defeat to fellow European heavyweights Germany, but during that run, they also beat another title contender, Japan, 3-1, as well as cruised to comfortable victories over Uruguay (6-0), Denmark (4-0), and Thailand (3-0).
Korea, meanwhile, have had mixed fortunes so far this year. They will be again hoping to get out of the group stage like they did so four years ago - for the first time - but they arrive in France following a defeat to Sweden in their final tune-up game. That's naturally not the way Yoon Deok-yeo wanted to start things off, especially as they have won only two of their six games since the start of 2019.
How they got to the World Cup: France vs Korea
As hosts, France didn't have to go through any sort of qualifying process, and now the women's side will be hoping to match the success of their male counterparts from last summer. Opponents Korea finished fifth at the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup to book their ticket to this tournament.
