France

While France has won both of their games so far in this tournament, they have not done so in the dominant fashion that they were expected to. Their first game was a 2-1 victory against lowly Australia and their second was a 1-0 win against Peru, where they were outplayed for certain stretches of the match. This is not a good sign for a team that boasts a roster of big-name talents such as Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappe and N'Golo Kante. They blew through qualifying with a 7-2-1 record, with 8 different players contributing goals during that span. If they are to win this game and advance through the knockout stages, they will have to find a different gear. This is France's 5th consecutive world Cup and their 14 overall appearance at the tournament. Winners in 98 and runners-up in 06, they are fielding one of the best teams they have had to offer in years at Russia.

Denmark

Denmark has played an up and down World Cup so far, having won their game against Peru and tying the underdog Australians, who outshot them 13-10 last Thursday. Despite the dissapointment, Denmark still has a chance to play for first place in the group against France on Tuesday. To get the win, they will need their star Midfielder Cristian Eriksen to score timely goals and the team as a group needs to be as consistent as they were in qualifying. Finishing second in their group and winning a playoff game against the Republic of Ireland to grab a World Cup berth, they went 6-2-2 with Eriksen racking up 8 goals. Denmark's last appearance in the World Cup was in 2010, where they bowed out in the group stage.

Match Overview

France is expected to win this game, but they do have vulnerabilities. There is a lot of pressure on them to perform, as they are working with the best collection of talent their country has seen in awhile. They were runners up in the Euro 2016 tournament and have won 5 of their last 6 friendly matches since qualifying. This puts tremendous pressure on this group to perform and they have shown the ability to crack before, as happened at the World Cup in 2014. The question will be if this group has learned from that experience, or if they are prone to repeating it. Look for Denmark to play to France's weaknesses, stifling their attack and pressuring their stars into positions where they are forced to make mistakes. If Denmark can build something off a counter-attack, then they may have a shot at winning this game. If not, France's talent-laden squad should have the edge in this game.
