The two heavyweights from Group D go head-to-head at Stadium 974 as defending champions France take on nemesis Denmark in a match that could a long way toward defining the team that tops the group.
Much has been made of Denmark’s two previous victories in the UEFA Nations League against the French — 2-0 in September and 2-1 in March — but the Danes had a tough time first up at this World Cup against unfancied Tunisia in their opener.
France looked every bit the world champions they are, despite going down a goal to Australia. Kylian Mbappe showed his ability to take over matches, and Olivier Giroud’s two goals were a sign that the French might just be able to overcome the loss of Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema, one of several players on France’s lengthy injury list.
