THE PREDICTION

After being thrashed 4-1 by Mexico, the pressure is on France here, as they face South Africa who themselves are under pressure following a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Japan. Having seen France ship four goals last time out and knowing how important the three points would be, South Africa are expected to adopt a very attacking style of play here in a bid to create more opportunities infront of goal after recording just four shots vs Japan. However, this could in turn see France capitalise on the counter attack as they look to exploit any space inside the opposition half. With that in mind, consider both teams to score in what should turn out to be an end-to-end contest.
