On Saturday, November 26, at stadium 974, Doha will host the second round match of the 2022 World Cup in Group D, where two favourites, two European teams – France and Denmark – will play against each other.

France

The French national team defends their title at the World Cup in Qatar 4 years ago, but so far the “curse of the champions” (relegation already in the group stage) is unlikely to spill over to Didier Deschamps’ team. In the first round, the tricolors confidently defeated Australia 4:1, although they conceded first.

And all this happens against the backdrop of a horrific injury epidemic in the French national team that began long before the World Cup (a number of key players left, including midfielders Paul Pogba, Ngolo Kante and goalkeeper Mike Meignan). After the application, the main star of the team, the new winner of the Golden Ball, Karim Benzema was injured. The problems did not end there: in the first half of the match against Australia, the cruciate ligament of the knee was torn by Luca Hernandez, who will now be replaced by his brother Theo on the left flank of the defence.

And the fact that, despite all these terrible staff losses, France is still in excellent order is a prime example of the quality and depth of player selection in French football at the moment. Of course, in the later stages of the World Cup, the French may have to remember and regret the absence of Benzema and company, but judging by the match against Australia, the current selection of players should be enough to qualify from the group.

Denmark

The Danish national team won the hearts of everyone at the European Championship last year, and despite the terrible emotional shock of the first match of the tournament, they are one step away from the final. But for the Danes, the start of the current World Cup has been very difficult.

Kasper Yulman’s team drew a goalless draw with Tunisia. Of course, the Danes could complain about a missed penalty for a pretty obvious handball against the Africans in the final minutes of the game, but in terms of the content of the game, Denmark objectively didn’t win enough in that match. Particularly striking was the lack of insight and the sharpness of the attack.

Now the match against France and the possibility of going to the third round with only 1 point are quite real: there may be huge problems with leaving the group. Moreover, the Danes suffered a serious loss of personnel in the first round match. At the end of the first half of the match against Tunisia, the key player of the team, Thomas Delaney, was injured.

meeting history

In total, France and Denmark played 17 matches head-to-head. Strangely enough, the advantage of the French is minimal: 8 wins against 7, 2 more matches ended in a draw. The goal difference is usually in Denmark’s favor: 32 – 21. But this is the essence of the match between the teams at the 1908 Olympics, where the Danes won with a score of 17: 1.

Conflict prediction

France is rightfully considered the favorite of the upcoming match. Our bet is the current world champions win, odds are 1.84.
