Match Preview
You need to know, Lionel Rouxel’s team have not played since last March when they drew 1-1 against England in a friendly match. England’s opening goal scored by Bashir Humphreys in the 10th minute was equalized by Alan Virginius just before half-time.
Of the five previous meetings between the two teams, France won four times, while one match ended in a draw. Their last meeting in a friendly in March 2019 ended 3-1 for France thanks to three goals scored by Moussa Diaby.
Meanwhile, South Korea’s best achievement at the U-20 World Cup was in the last edition when they finished runners-up after being defeated by Ukraine in the final. However, France has won the U-20 World Cup once, namely in 2013 with Paul Pogba as the star of his team.
At this season’s tournament, France is the favorite to win Group F which also includes Gambia, Honduras and South Korea. So a positive result in their first match will give them a morale boost for the following matches.
South Korea, meanwhile, did not perform as expected at the Under-20 Asian Cup, but their run as runners-up at the last Under-20 World Cup could serve as motivation for Kim Eun-jung’s side.
The South Korean team will likely play tight to try to reduce the threat of French attacks while trying to counterattack. However, France should be able to achieve a narrow victory with goals from both teams, according to Sportskeeda.
