France take on the visitors Denmark in the round 2 match of group stage of FIFA World Cup 2022. The match will be played on Saturday, November 26th at Stadium 974 (Doha).
France are the current world champion. But how not to remember the curse that haunts the trophy holders at the world championships? By the way, it was the French who failed the first two decades ago. Now they had an unsuccessful Euro last year, not the most stable football in qualifying and poor results in the Nations League 2021. Well, the wave of injuries, which lasted already in Qatar: Nkunku, Benzema, in the match of the 1st round also Luca Hernandez. On the other hand, a year ago, Mbappe and company won the “final 4” of the last league, and Deschamps had stars at hand, with all the personnel losses, it would be enough for 2-3 line-ups. It is noteworthy that, having conceded quickly, “le bleu” not only did not blow away, like other favorites in this tournament, Argentina and Germany. On the contrary, they responded with 4 of their goals. Half of which is on account of Giroud, who becomes the national team's top scorer in history and in excellent relations with Kylian.

Denmark gradually raised its level. Of course, last year's Euro stands apart. Yes, they failed to repeat the result of the legendary 1992, but who knows where the Danes would have ended up if not for the scandalous penalty in the extra-time of the semi-final with England at Wembley? Although such a denouement, after the shocking loss of Eriksen and the start with a couple of defeats, was an excellent outcome. Moreover, even then it was quite possible to maintain a high level. Qualification for the World Cup was passed without the slightest problem, and in the League of Nations 4 victories in 6 matches were taken (by the way, the French won twice). And, although the 1st place went to the Croats, they still expected a new benefit performance from the Scandinavians in Qatar. In fact, they started with a rather dull zero with Tunisia, albeit with clearly more chances. It remains to be remembered that Yulmand's wards are pragmatic in the northern way, and may well plan to achieve their passage to the playoffs by winning the last “group” match over Australia.
There were plenty of them, but perhaps it is worth remembering only the last ones. The Danes, as already mentioned, won twice against France in the Nations League this year. But an analogy with the 2018 World Cup suggests itself, when the Europeans pragmatically rolled up the “zero” at the group stage. Perhaps the sides will be surprised, especially by Deschamps' men, who are seen as the clear favourites. But still, a more passable bet option looks like “total less than 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
