Firstly, Captain Hugo Lloris is expected to start between the sticks. AC Milan\u2019s Theo Hernandez is set to replace his brother Lucas at left-back. The centre-back partnership of Ibrahima Konate and Dayot Upamecano is set to start again, after their good showing in the first match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Furthermore, the midfield and forward lines are expected to be the same. <a href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/football\/1240713\/who-is-aurelien-tchouameni-world-cup-2022-france-squad\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aurelien Tchouameni<\/a> played a key role in the heart of the midfield.

The former Arsenal striker would be hoping to get another goal which would lift him over Gunners legend Thierry Henry, as the a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2022\/nov\/22\/france-australia-world-cup-group-d-match-report\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ll-time leading goalscorer for the French National Team<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>France Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Mainstay left-back Lucas Hernandez was subbed off in the 13th minute of the opener against Australia.

However, Deschamps and his men will be quietly confident of their chances this time around.<\/p>\n<p>France have generally used their full-backs, Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard, to provide the width and stretch the field of play. Antoine Griezmann has played a fantastic part as a No.10 in recent times for the Frenchmen. Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/adamdigby\/2022\/11\/23\/adrien-rabiots-redemption-tour-continues-as-france-beat-australia\/?sh=54764c661822\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adrien Rabiot&#8217;s newfound eye for goal<\/a> has seen him take up advanced positions in the box similar to the role played by Jude Bellingham for England. Lastly, Deschamps has also got the talent in his squad to play a back-three system with William Saliba if needed.<\/p>\n<h3>France Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>The defending champions will use their 4-2-3-1 formation:<\/p>\n<p>GK \u2013 Hugo Lloris<\/p>\n<p>LB &#8211; Theo Hernandez<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Ibrahima Konate<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Dayot Upamecano<\/p>\n<p>RB &#8211; Benjamin Pavard<\/p>\n<p>CDM &#8211; Aurelien Tchouameni<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Adrien Rabiot<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Antoine Griezmann<\/p>\n<p>LW &#8211; Ousmane Dembele<\/p>\n<p>ST &#8211; Olivier Giroud<\/p>\n<p>RW &#8211; Kylian Mbappe<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France started off their World Cup title defence with a thumping 4-1 win over Australia.
