Preview

Denmark will be targeting a result against an already qualified France to book their place in the round of sixteen on Tuesday evening. The Danes need a positive result and hope that Australia doesn’t get a win against already-eliminated Peru in the other Group C game which will take place at the same time.
The Danes held on at times in their second group game to force a 1-1 draw with Australia after Christian Eriksen opened the scoring with a stunning half-volley. The Tottenham Hotspur star will be Denmark’s creative force against Les Bleus and will be a threat from set pieces for his country. Eriksen, 26 enjoys representing his country and has 23 goals in 80 appearances for Denmark.
Whilst Denmark will have to keep it tight against a French front line who has plenty of space on the flanks. Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has looked solid as part of a front three in the previous two group games and will have to be at his very best to shut out France and reach for the knockout stage for the first time since 2002.
Denmark Predicted Team
Schmeichel; Dalsgaard, Kjaer, Christensen, Stryger-Larsen; Schone, Delaney; Braithwaite, Eriksen, Sisto; Jorgensen


Having already booked their place in the round of sixteen, France just needs one point to guarantee top spot.  Didier Deschamps is likely to rest some key players for the tie after narrow victories over Australia and Peru.
Olivier Giroud is likely to start for the second consecutive group game and will be charged with spearheading the French attack. The Chelsea striker has been impressive in his appearances linking up well with the midfield and holding the ball up well.
The likes of Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbppe are likely to be rested and that gives opportunities to Steven N'Zonzi & Nabil Fekir who have already made substitute appearances in the tournament. The duo will be looking to impress and convince Deschamps for a start in the round of sixteen contest against a side from Group D.
France Predicted team
Lloris; Sidibe, Varane, Umtiti; Mendy; N'Zonzi, Tolisso; Lemar, Fekir, Griezmann; Giroud
Denmark will be hoping to get a positive result to book their place in the round of sixteen against a France side who are targeting three consecutive wins in the group stages.
