France vs Denmark - 2022 World Cup Betting Guide

France and Denmark will play their second 2022 World group match on the 26th of November in Stadium 974 in Doha.

They are the two top ranking teams in the group, and the match between the two should decide which of the teams will take the top spot. That being said, the other teams in the group may also cause upsets or hold these teams to a draw, making this match all the more important for these two powerhouses. France, the defending champions of the World Cup, takes the edge over Denmark because of the sheer quality in their squad. However, Denmark is not to be taken lightly, as they work extremely well together and will fancy their chances in taking down the French.

France Team Info – The Returning Champions

France will be amongst the favourites to win the World Cup. As the reigning champions, they can make history by becoming the third ever team to win 2 World Cups in a row, and manager Didier Deschamps can become the first manager to win once as a player and twice as a manager if they were to do so. Didier Deschamps was in the golden generation of French players in the 90s and early 2000s. Names such as Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Marcel Desailly, and more, are all highly recognisable as they dominated on both a national level and at club level. After winning the World Cup for the first time in 1998, France managed to reach the final in 2006. Zidane was now captain and he played the last game of his international career against Italy. Zidane scored in the game, and was sent off after head-butting the Italian goal scorer Marco Materazzi. France then went on to lose the penalty shootout, and finish second. In 2018, the team reached the final after beating top teams such as Belgium, Argentina, and Uruguay. Beating Croatia in the final, they won their second World Cup.

Much of the World Cup winning squad are still playing, including the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, N'Golo Kante, Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane, and Hugo Lloris. Karim Benzema was called up for international duty for the first time in years, after he was involved in a scandal off the pitch. He is in the best form of his career, and will undoubtedly improve France's already incredibly talented squad.

Denmark Team Info – A Credible Threat to the French

Denmark qualified for the World Cup when they won UEFA Group F. They won 9 out of their 10 games and scored 30 goals, only conceding 3. The Danish have qualified for the World Cup 5 times before the 2022 World Cup, and their biggest achievements in international football competitions came in the 90s. The team won the European Championships in 1992, and managed to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 1998. Then, they had a golden generation of players such as Peter Schmeichel, Michael Laudrup, and Lars Olsen, amongst many more.

Their current squad has just as many talented players, if not more. In goal, they have Peter Schmeichel's son, Kasper, who has been capped 84 times. In defence, they have AC Milan's Simon Kjaer, as well as Barcelona's Andreas Christensen, Atalanta's Joakim Maehle, and Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen. They have a few Premier League midfielders: Christian Eriksen Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Matthias Jensen, and Philip Billing. In addition to them, there is also Sevilla's Thomas Delaney, and Danish club Brondby's Daniel Wass. In attack, they have Martin Braithwaite and Kasper Dolberg, both of whom play in La Liga and have scored 10 goals each for their country. There is also RB Leipzig's goal specialist Yussuf Poulsen, who is quite a pacey striker.
