France can effectively seal top spot in Group D as they look to make it two wins from two at the World Cup this afternoon. The defending champions face their toughest group-stage opponent, at least on paper, in Denmark, looking to recreate some of the attacking flair produced in the dominant opening win over Australia.
Les Blues fell behind in that match but swiftly got things back on track as Olivier Giroud struck a brace and Kylian Mbappe shone, though they suffered a serious injury blow as Lucas Hernandez ruptured his ACL. His brother Theo Hernandez should start in his place this afternoon.
Denmark were largely toothless in their goalless draw with Tunisia and will be looking to show far more in forward areas. They have twice beaten France in the Nations League this year, so can take plenty of confidence from recent matches between the sides. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!
