Sochaux striker Phillipe Anziani was recalled for his first match for France since facing Brazil in 1981.

4-Hidalgo decided on a 4-3-3 formation with the midfield consisting of Luis Fernandez and the duo of Bravo and Genghini acting as organizers.

5-Maxime Bossis only played in the first half, as his club Nantes had a match against Metz the following day. He was replaced by the debutant Domergue.

Battiston took Bossis’ Libero position, Amoros moved to the right back position in Battiston’s old spot and Domergue went on the left back position.
