France and the Republic of Ireland meet at Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday with a place in the 2016 UEFA European Championship quarterfinals at stake.
For the hosts, the tournament is truly beginning now after a slow start. For the Irish, this is a chance for them to prolong what can already be considered a successful campaign after a 1-1 draw with Sweden in Paris and a famous 1-0 win over Italy in Lille in Group E.
Les Bleus beat Romania and Albania in their two opening Group A fixtures, but Switzerland held them to a draw in Lille in the final round of matches.
