Denmark – France
The teams of Denmark and France meet each other in Moscow in a game from Group C of the FIFA World Cup. Let’s examine this clash in our vip soccer bets for today.
Denmark are already touching the 1/8-finals of the competition, but they still have to do some work in order to celebrate. Right now the Danish Dynamite is second in the group with 4 points, having 3 more points than the 3rd Australia. This means that even a draw would be enough for the Danish team to qualify for the knockout phase. They can do it even with a loss against France, as long as Australia doesn’t win against Peru. But if Denmark loses and Australia wins, then the Scandinavians will say goodbye to the World Cup.
At the same time Denmark can even win the group, if they manage to beat France. It would be really surprising thing to see, of course, but everything is possible. Especially with France not being really that convincing from the start of the tournament.
Denmark are still unbeaten after the first two rounds of the World Cup, winning against Peru and making a draw with Australia. The Danish Dynamite is showing some good combinative football, inspired by their fantastic playmaker Cristian Eriksen. They underperformed a little bit in the second half against Australia, but the most important thing is that they avoided losing in this match.
France on the other hand are a pretty much a strange case at the World Cup so far. Les Bleus are regarded as one of the favourites to win the World Cup, but they were not really that convincing against Australia and Peru. Yes – they managed to win both matches, but they didn’t do it with the fancy style everyone expects from the French stars. But who knows – maybe they are keeping their best for the knockout phase of the tournament?
It’s fully logical to see the French manager Didier Deschamps doing some changes in the team for the game. Players like Blaise Matuidi and Paul Pogba were booked in the previous two games, which means that there’s a huge chance Deschamps to rest them against Denmark. Meanwhile players like Ousmane Dembele, Corentin Tolisso and Nabil Fekir could return to the team and feature once again for Les Bleus.
Denmark’s head coach Age Hareide is not without problems before the clash. He can’t use the supsended Yussef Poulsen, while William Kvist is recovering from an injury. This is a serious trouble for the Norwegian coach, because these two players are usually important for his side. Also, it remains to be seen if Pione Sisto is going to get benched against France, given his poor performances lately.
Despite of already qualified for the next round, Didier Deschamps promised that his team won’t underrestimate Denmark. France need to secure the first spot in the group, because they don’t want to play against Croatia in the 1/8-finals. This was confirmed by the midfielder Corentin Tolisso, who said that France’s main objective is winning the first place and avoiding Croatia.
In the same time Age Hareide started a psychological war with the French team, stating that he is not impressed with what France are showing at the World Cup so far. He’s sure that his team have a solid chance to take something from this game.
These are our vip soccer bets for today for the World Cup game between Denmark and France from Group C. The French team is a huge favourite here, but it’s not clear how the eventual rotations of Didier Deschamps will affect the performance of the Les Bleus.
