The France national team will face the Republic of Ireland national team in 5e ronde of the Euro 2024 Qualifiers on Thursday, September 07, 2023. Live streaming of France vs Republic of Ireland, preview, lineup predictions, and how to watch the match live broadcast, can be watched in this article.
France, the unbeaten team in EURO 2024 qualifying, will host the Republic of Ireland in the fifth match of Group B on Thursday, 7 September 2023. This match will take place at the Parc des Princes Stadium, home of PSG, a club that has many French stars in it .
France are in excellent form, having won all their previous four games without conceding a goal and scoring nine goals. They also just finished runners-up in the 2022 World Cup after losing to Argentina on penalties. With the strength and experience they have, France will definitely try to maintain their perfect record in these qualifiers.
The Republic of Ireland, on the other hand, is still fighting to get a ticket to the finals. They have just three points from three matches and are third in Group B. They are also not very good away from home, with only four wins from the last 18 matches. However, they still have hope if they can surprise France with their best performance.
One factor that could help the Republic of Ireland is striker Evan Ferguson, who is shining with Brighton in the Premier League. The 19-year-old has scored five goals in his last four games and is one of the most promising young strikers in Europe. If he can demonstrate his abilities at international level, he could become a serious threat to the French defence.
However, France also has a lot of weapons on their front lines. Kylian Mbappe, Hernandez and Ousmane Dembele are three players who play for PSG and are very familiar with the Parc des Princes Stadium. They have extraordinary speed, technique and goal-scoring instincts. Plus Olivier Giroud, a senior striker who can always be relied on when needed.
At the back, France also received reinforcements from Lucas Hernandez, their current number one left back. He has just recovered from a knee injury that kept him out for nine months. He also recently joined PSG from Bayern and has adapted well to his new team. He will be with William Lintasa and Dayot Upamecano to form a steel wall that is difficult to penetrate.
The match between France and the Republic of Ireland is always interesting to watch. In the previous seven meetings, France was ahead with five wins, one draw and one defeat. That defeat occurred in 2009, when the Republic of Ireland won 1-0 at home thanks to a single goal from Robbie Keane. However, France managed to get revenge by winning 2-1 in the second leg thanks to a controversial goal from Thierry Henry.
Will history repeat itself or will France continue their dominance? Who will be the hero or decider of fate for their team?
