Match Details:
- Teams: France vs South Africa
- Time: 01:30 PM IST Live
- Date: Sunday, 25th July 2021
- Location: Saitama Stadium
Both of these teams lost in their first match. South Africa narrowly lost 0-1 to host Japan. Meanwhile, France’s fate was far more pathetic.
France humiliated Mexico 1-4. One of France’s goals in that match came from a penalty from senior striker and captain Andre-Pierre Gignac.
France certainly wants to get up in the second game. For them, a draw, let alone losing is not an option. However, it won’t be easy. Because, South Africa also did not want to swallow two defeats in the first two matches.

Prediction
Both lost in the first match, France and South Africa will certainly be more insistent in this second match. Their clash also seems to be going pretty tight.
What’s more, France’s squad for the Olympics is not as flashy as its senior team. If there is a chance of winning, the chances of winning will not be great.
