France vs Colombia: preview

France

The French, who are out to improve on consecutive quarter-final finishes at the World Cup, were 4-0 winners the last time the sides met, in the group stage of the 2016 Olympics.

Les Bleues are currently unbeaten in four - a run that included wins over Denmark and Uruguay, and a draw with Norway, as Hervé Renard’s side won the four-team Tournoi de France in February.

Colombia

Colombia, whose teenage star Linda Caicedo has scored two goals in six games since joining Spanish giants Real Madrid, are undefeated in nine.

Las Cafeteras’ most recent loss came last July, when they were pipped to the Copa América title in a 1-0 final defeat to Brazil.

At the World Cup in July and August, the Colombians are aiming to make it past the competition’s last 16 for the first time in their history.
