FRANCE take on Wales in a friendly match-up tonight as both sides prepare for this summer's European Championships.
Didier Deschamps' side are among the favourites to win this year's competition, having got to the final five years ago and winning the World Cup back in 2018.
But Wales will be looking to put together another brilliant run of their own, after reaching the semis in 2016.
Preparation for the Dragons this time around has been turbulent however, with Ryan Giggs now not taking charge of the team he led to the tournament.
Instead, interim boss Robert Page will step into the Man Utd legend's shoes.
