Denmark claimed a 2-1 win over France in Saint-Denis on 3 June and the Scandinavian side were then able to enjoy a 2-0 victory against the same opponents when the pair met in Copenhagen. Kasper Hjulmand’s side are still a very backable price on the outright market and they have to be respected.
Christian Eriksen had a near-tragic collapse at Euro 2020 although his team-mates were able to reach the semi-final stage of the competition and they could be even better in Qatar, with Australia representing an easy first game opponent. You could do worse than get a bigger price about them winning the group.
France look like poor favourites and they are extremely short to qualify for the last sixteen. Les Bleus could have something of a banana skin when facing Tunisia in their opener, although the best way to play this group could be to back Denmark-France on the Straight Forecast market.
Deschamps has a number of issues ahead of the tournament in Qatar, while some might be interested in wagering on the team that finishes bottom of the group. Australia are not blessed with quality players and it could be a struggle for them to get anything against three superior opponents.
