France head coach Didier Deschamps said on Monday that the game against Finland in Lyon on Tuesday will be the chance for his team to turn the tide after their two disappointing World Cup qualifying matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine.

Anthony Martial's first goal in five years was not enough as France drew at Ukraine 1-1 on Saturday to remain winless in five games.

France lead Europe Group D with nine points from five games while Finland are second with five points but have played two games less.

The Finns are ahead of third-placed Ukraine on goal difference after beating Kazakhstan 1-0.
