France aim to shake off their defeat against Germany in their previous outing as they face South American opposition in Chile in a friendly clash at the Stade Orange Velodrome.
Didier Deschamps' men play their last game before their preparations for Euro 2024 in Germany starting in June. Les Bleus will therefore be determined to change their fortunes against Chile and wrap up the international break with a win.
Chile, on the other hand, dumped three goals past Albania in their previous friendly and they would be confident of producing an upset against the 2018 World champions.
