📏 Form Guide

Denmark

WWWLWL

Denmark will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 2-1 Nations League defeat in their last game at the hands of Croatia.

In that match, Denmark had 51% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Denmark was Christian Eriksen (77'). On the other side, Croatia got 12 shots on goal with 4 on target. Borna Sosa (49') and Lovro Majer (79') scored for Croatia.

Their latest results shine a light on the fact that much solidity has been shown by the Denmark rearguard. Denmark have been mean at the back, with the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past six clashes standing at 4.

France

WWLDDL ⚖

France will come into the clash following a 2-0 Nations League win over Austria in their last match.

In that game, France had 61% possession and 22 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For France, the goalscorers were Kylian Mbappé (56') and Olivier Giroud (65'). Austria had 4 attempts on goal with 0 on target.

The numbers tell their own story, and France have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals in all. In defence, France seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Such a trend won’t necessarily be continued into this game, of course.

↔️ Head to head

The previous league fixture between these sides was Nations League match day 1 on 03/06/2022 which finished with the scoreline of France 1-2 Denmark.

🗞️ Team News: Denmark

The Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand will be grateful to have no fitness worries at all ahead of this clash thanks to a completely healthy squad to choose from.

It looks as if De Rød-Hvide look set to use a 3-4-3 formation for this game and select Kasper Schmeichel, Joachim Andersen, Simon Kjaer, Andreas Christensen, Rasmus Kristensen, P. Hoejbjerg, Thomas Delaney, Joakim Maehle, Andreas Skov Olsen, Kasper Dolberg and Christian Eriksen.

📰 Team News: France

Due to a fully healthy squad available to select from, the France manager Didier Deschamps has zero fitness worries to speak of before this match.

We are inclined to think that Les Bleus will likely utilise a 3-4-1-2 formation, going with Alphonse Areola, William Saliba, Raphael Varane, Benoit Badiashile, Jonathan Clauss, Ferland Mendy, Aurelien Tchouameni, Youssouf Fofana, Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe.

💡 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Denmark could find themselves up against it to breach the defence of this France team who we reckon should score one, at least.

We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 winning margin for France at the end of this game.

There should be little in it.
