Having plodded through their group matches, Les Bleus exploded to life with a 4-3 victory over Argentina in the round of 16. Kylian Mbappe was particularly impressive, netting a brace and drawing a penalty. Antoine Griezmann has only scored twice in this tournament so far, both from the spot, but one suspects that it is only a matter of time before the 27-year-old brings his A game to Russia. It would not surprise to see him do that against his Atletico colleagues Godin and Gimenez.

France will be missing their Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi for the match due to suspension.

Possible line-ups

Uruguay: Fernando Muslera; Martin Caceres, Jose Maria Gimenez, Diego Godin, Diego Laxalt; Nahitan Nandez, Lucas Torreira, Matias Vecino, Rodrigo Bentancur, Luis Suarez, Cristhian Stuani

France: Hugo Lloris; Benjamin Pavard, Raphael Varane, Samuel Umtiti, Lucas Hernandez; N'Golo Kante, Paul Pogba; Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Corentin Tolisso; Olivier Giroud
