Defending champions France will take on Denmark in the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Saturday. France and Denmark are in Group D with Tunisia and Australia in the global tournament. France also beat Australia 4–1 in their tournament opener with Olivier Giroud scoring twice.
France look the better side on paper despite missing top talents such as N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba and Karim Benzema to injuries. On the other hand, Denmark must win this match. An entry into the next round may not be possible for the Danish team even if they settle for a draw in this current match.
However, while France thrashed Australia 4–1 in their opening match, Denmark were held to a goalless draw by Tunisia. But if France wins, they will have the chance to become the first team to beat Denmark in their second match and book a place in the knockout rounds.
For the first time in its history, France could attempt to win six straight games in the World Cup finals. Denmark, on the other hand, has a competitive record against the defending champions.
