The French team usually plays in a versatile 4-3-3 style with just one centre forward, usually backed up by a winger and an inside forward. During World Cup preparation, they have scored 13 goals against Norway (4:0), Paraguay (1:1) and Jamaica (8:0), with forwards Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann each scoring three goals.
Franck Ribery’s absence is a huge blow to France. Mathieu Debuchy has recovered from his respective injury, whilst Paul Pogba is also likely to return to the starting XI. The likes of Valbuena, Benzema and Griezmann will be deployed up front in the 4-3-3 formation with Giroud initially benched.
Honduras finished third behind USA and Costa Rica in CONCACAF qualifying. Then, they had a less than impressive tournament preparations. The Hondurans fell 2-0 to a shorthanded Turkey before suffering a 4-2 defeat to lowly Israel. Anyway, Honduras do have a great defensive record at major tournaments and shut England out in their final warm up match, so will prove difficult to break down.
Forward Carlos Costly resumed training after a scare on Thursday while defender Beckeles will continue at right-back after being sent off in the last warm-up friendly. Roger Espinoza, Wilson Palacios and Jerry Bengston will be the most well-known names on show for Honduras.
Honduras (4-4-2): Valladares; Beckeles, Bernandez, Figueroa, Izaguirre; Najar, Garrido, Palacios, Espinoza; Bengtson, Costly.
