After their 2-1 victory in the freezing cold of Oslo, will Hervé Renard’s players confirm their superiority on Tuesday October 31 in Reims? At the top of group A2 (9 points) with five points ahead of the Austrians, undefeated and on course to reach the Final Four, the Blues have achieved a flawless performance for the moment. If the balance sheet is perfect, the content of the game still leaves room for progress, including two narrow victories against Portugal (2-0) and Austria (1-0).
In the first leg, Norway, 13th team in the world, was unable to resist the pressure of the Tricolores by scoring against their own camp (Maren Mjelde, 23rd) and being surprised by Wendie Renard in the 69th minute. Last in the group and in the fight to avoid relegation, they have not beaten France for twenty years.
