Sport Arena makes its prediction for the Group D match
The reigning world champions will start their title defense with a match against the Australian team, and in such a game, Didier Deschamps, along with his charges, expect to take all three points. The French team has good prospects for this World Cup, because many fans and experts assign the team the status of the main favorite of the tournament. For the Australians, such a match will be a big challenge, which will show what this team stands against the backdrop of a top rival.
France
In addition to the Australian team, the French team will play against Denmark and Tunisia in the group stage of the tournament, and in such a quartet, of course, they should confidently make it to the playoffs. The status of the reigning champion obliges Deschamps’ team to play well at this World Cup, and the selection of performers allows France to think about a second victory in a row at the World Cup.
The French team missed several key players at once: Paul Pogba and Ngolo Kante will miss the tournament in Qatar due to injuries, Presnel Kimpembe and Christopher Nkunku were already injured at the location of the team, a Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema was also eliminated. The Tricolor midfield without Pogba and Kante really looks like the very link of France, so this time the players of the attacking group should play a key role in its success.
Australia
The Australian team has been consistently performing at the World Championships since 2006, but only managed to overcome the group stage at the World Cup in Germany. This time Australia will try to do better, though it will be quite difficult to do this, given the opponents the team will have to play in their quartet.
The Australian national team is represented by players from a wide variety of clubs, who represent not only the top European championships, but also play on different continents. Graham Arnold has no really star players at his disposal, because the generation of Tim Cahill and Mark Viduka is in the past, so the Australians will bet, first of all, on a team game.
