Although it looks relatively straightforward to predict on the face of it, Group C could be one of the World Cup’s most exciting groups.
France are, unsurprisingly, clear favourites to move into the knockout stages by coming first in the group at 3/10 (1.30) with dabblebet, although their unpredictable form in this competition in recent years makes that a far from a sure thing.
Since winning the tournament in 1998, Les Bleus have crashed out in the group stage twice and have won just seven of their last 18 World Cup matches.
dabblebetWhilst Denmark are 8/13 (1.62) to qualify from the group stage for the first time since 2002, it is worth looking further afield and at the 2/1 (3.0) price on Peru in the same market.
The South Americans only made it to Russia by virtue of a 2-0 aggregate win over New Zealand in the inter-confederation play-offs but strong recent form means they should not be overlooked.
At time of writing, Ricardo Gareca’s men have not lost since November 2016, winning 10 of their 14 matches in that time, and their scalps in the last two years include Brazil, Uruguay and Croatia.

Australia may also prove to be a popular bet at 7/2 (4.50), but they only scraped through qualifying and were forced to beat both Syria and Honduras in play-offs to secure their place in Russia.
The Socceroos are 3/4 (1.75) to finish bottom of the group and that also provides good value, but the longer 2/1 (3.0) odds on Peru to qualify are not to be missed.
