AUS vs FRA Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Hockey Tips & Playing 11 Updates for FIH Hockey Men’s World Cup – January 13th, 2023

Australia will square off against France in the second match of the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup 2023. The match will take place at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on January 13.

Both the teams are placed in Pool A along with Argentina and South Africa. Australia have a strong squad for the World Cup and will start the tournament as firm favorites. They settled for the bronze medal at the 2018 Hockey World Cup after losing 4-3 on penalties against the Netherlands in the semi-finals.

France, too, had a decent World Cup campaign in 2018. They lost 3-0 against the Australian team in the quarterfinals.

France have a tough task ahead as they face the Aussies once again in their opening game of the tournament. They need to play really well if they wish to take down a strong Australian team in this game.
