FRA vs DEN Match Preview
It will be the fourth World Cup meeting between France and Denmark (all in group stages). While France won the 1998 edition as the hosts by 2-1, Denmark beat them by 2-0 in 2002 and had a goalless draw in 2018.
While the reigning WC champions France were unbeaten in entire 2021, they have lost thrice this year and twice of those were against Denmark. Les Blues haven’t won their last three games against the Danish team (one draw and two losses). The fourth-ranked football team now has a big headache with players’ fitness.
Denmark have also lost thrice this year (once vs Netherlands, twice vs Croatia). They might feel confident enough against France after understanding their recent records against them and Les Blues’ current struggle over players’ fitness issues, Danish Dynamite still have to improve a lot and maintain consistency to bring their desired result into reality.
