It is obviously a match eagerly awaited by the supporters of both sides: the small final between France and Portugal.

This Friday, Portugal and France were no match for the ogres of the competition. Beaten respectively in 1h47 and 1h35 by Argentina and Spain, these two nations did not use too much energy on the slopes in the semi-finals.

And that's very good news, because we should find them in great shape this Saturday, for a match that promises to be very interesting. Indeed, if the Lusitanians, who have created the tournament feat against Brazil, will be the favourites, they will have to be wary of the selection of Pablo Ayma, who will give everything to leave with a medal. And we should be entitled to a good opposition of styles between Portugal, which has some of the best players in the APT, and France, still led by Benjamin Tison, 68th player in the FIP ranking. The confrontation should also take place off the tracks, with teams and supporters accustomed to giving voice.

We are therefore expecting a big match, which was scheduled for noon (09 a.m. in France), but was delayed by more than two hours.

Regarding the compositions, we see that Pablo Ayma has been faithful to his standard team, the one aligned against Paraguay and Belgium in particular. Portuguese side only one change since the young Pedro Ferreira replaces the experienced Vasco Pascoal.

  1. Maigret / Tison (FRA) vs Araujo / Ferreira (POR)
  2. Bergeron / Scatena (FRA) vs Deus / Deus (POR)
  3. Blanque / Leygue (FRA) vs Afonso / Oliveira (POR)
