France are atop the standings, having won their first two group fixtures and they have already booked their spot in the knockout phase. Switzerland are in with a chance but they are tied on three points with second-placed Italy and must win their final game to stand a chance of an entry to the knockout rounds.
The group leaders defeated Italy in their opening game before registering a 1-0 win over Norway in their previous outing. Their next opponents also started with a win over Norway but were then beaten by Italy in their previous outing.

France team news
France manager Sylvain Ripoll, who typically prefers a 4-2-3-1 formation, has various options available to him. However, due to Olise's hamstring injury in the victory over Norway, Bradley Barcola could be given a starting opportunity.
Possible alterations to Ripoll's starting lineup may involve Loic Bade returning after serving a suspension for a red card against Italy, potentially displacing Mohamed Simakan from the defensive quartet.
France predicted XI: Chevalier; Kalulu, Bade, Lukeba, Nkounkou; Kone, Caqueret; Barcola, Le Fee, Gouiri; Kalimuendo.
