Stade Pierre Mauroy will host France's final warm-up game before their 2026 World Cup opener against Senegal as Didier Deschamps' men take on Northern Ireland in Lille. Given the huge gap in quality and motivation, we predict a routine 3-0 home win. Despite leaving Eduardo Camavinga, Randal Kolo Muani, and Benjamin Pavard out of the squad, France still boast an abundance of world-class talent. Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise, and Ousmane Dembele are all expected to play important roles as Les Bleus look to fine-tune preparations for the tournament. France head into the match in outstanding form, having won eight of their last ten matches while averaging 2.7 goals per game.
Northern Ireland failed to qualify for the finals and arrive in France with mixed form behind them. Josh Magennis will be the player to watch for the visitors, who have won four of their last ten matches. However, their away record has been a concern, with just one victory in their last six away games and an average of 1.67 goals conceded per match on the road. Facing a French side that averages 3.8 total goals per game and creates chances at a high rate could prove a difficult challenge.
As France have won eight of their last ten matches and possess a significant quality advantage, Home Win is our main betting tip for Monday's friendly, alongside France Over 1.5 and Kylian Mbappe to Score.
This match will be played on Monday 8 June 2026 at 20:10.
