The hosts France kick-off their campaign to retain it against Australia on Tuesday evening. It is a big game for both after Denmark failed to beat Tunisia (0-0) earlier on Tuesday. France will fancy their chances against an Australia side ranked 38th in the World.
France qualified for the tournament unbeaten with all of their wins coming without conceding as well. They did struggle a bit in the Nations League losing twice to group rivals Denmark and have had some bad injuries with Benzema missing out being the latest. That said a match against Australia to open their World Cup campaign looks ideal.
Australia qualified really late for the World Cup after struggling to do it in the Asia qualifiers and had to play Peru in a play-off in the end. They aren’t as good as they used to be with a substantial lack of quality which will likely be there to see against France.
-Australia only just scraped through to the World Cup.
-I see this going 2-1 either way.
