France host the Republic of Ireland in a friendly match in Paris on Monday evening, with the home side looking to record a victory ahead of their trip to Russia this summer. The Euro 2016 finalists are one of the favourites for the 2018 World Cup, however Ireland will be looking to cause a shock at the Stade de France, with Martin O’Neill’s men normally giving Le Bleus a tough time when they meet.

Republic of Ireland Form
Having missed out on a place at this summer’s World Cup following a 5-1 home defeat to Denmark, the Republic of Ireland come into the clash off the back of a narrow friendly defeat against Turkey. As a result, manager O’Neill will be looking to earn a positive results in Paris, with the likes of Derrick Williams, Kieran O’Hara and Callum Robinson potentially earning their first international caps.
