Team News
William Kvist has been sent home after breaking two ribs and puncturing a lung in the opening game against Peru, while Yussuf Poulsen is suspended after picking up a yellow card in each game so far.
Samuel Umtiti is unlikely to play due to a slight thigh problem, with either Adil Rami or Presnel Kimpembe set to deputise.
Danish Defence
Needing just a point to qualify, it seems unlikely that the Rod-Hvide will take any chances by showing too much attacking ambition in this clash.
Having conceded just a single goal in their last six fixtures, they will back themselves to make life difficult for a team that has struggled to make the most of their abundance of attacking riches so far in Russia.
Didier Deschamps’ men have only scored two goals from open play in their two group games, with one of those a rather fortuitous own goal by an Australian defender.
Predictions
With the robust Danes determined to put up a stern resistance against a disjointed France, odds of 13/10 (2.30) are well worth backing on them ensuring under 1.5 goals for their fifth match in seven.
