• With 3 points on the clock, the French team is ahead of its opponent of the day, 2nd (1 point) in group D.

  • A victory would bring Didier Deschamps' men closer to qualifying for the round of 16, before facing Tunisia on Wednesday.

  • After their draw against the

    Eagles of Carthage

    when they entered the competition, Denmark need points.

Four days after having launched its World Cup perfectly in Qatar, with a victory against Australia (4-1), the Blues have an appointment with Denmark.

On the occasion of the second day of the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar, the French team finds the

Danish Dynamite,

the last team to date to have made it fall.

On which channel to watch the France - Denmark match?

The meeting will be broadcast on Saturday November 26 at 5 p.m., live and unencrypted on TF1, but also on BeIN Sports 1 and BeIN Sports 2, only for subscribers to the channel.

You can also follow the France - Denmark match live on 20 Minutes via our live commentary. 

The Blues must confirm

After arriving in Qatar with low morale due to the injury of Karim Benzema, the French team showed an attractive face against Australia.

With a victory in the bag, the men of Didier Deschamps approach this clash of group D against Denmark with more serenity.

Despite the injury of Lucas Hernandez, package for the rest of the competition, the Blues can count on his brother, Theo, to do the job.

Raphaël Varane and Jules Koundé could also be expected in defense.

Author of a double during the entry into the running of the French team, Olivier Giroud can become the top scorer in the history of the selection, alone, if he scores against the Danes.

In midfield, Adrien Rabiot, scorer against the

Socceroos

, showed that he could hold the barracks in midfield. 

Up front, the "bromance" between Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud (with 3 goals scored in the first game) must continue to carry the team forward.

With a great Antoine Griezmann as a torchbearer, the tricolor selection can beat anyone. 

The threat of the

Vikings

Faced with the reigning world champions, Denmark has assets to put forward.

Let's hope for the French team that the history of last summer in the Nations League will not be repeated.

The

Danish Dynamite

had beaten the Blues twice (1-2 and 2-0), to everyone's surprise.

Admittedly, the issue was not the same, but the men of

DD

are warned.

Tenth in the FIFA rankings (France is 4th), the Scandinavians have enough to play spoilsports in this group D. During the last Euro, they reached the semi-finals and showed that their generation, with Andreas Christensen (Barça) , Christian Eriksen (Manchester United) and Andreas Cornelius (Copenhagen), could go far in a major competition.

The draw against Tunisia in their first meeting (0-0) somewhat weighed down the start of the World Cup in Denmark.

But the rearguard of the Blues will have to watch Andreas Cornelius, his executioner in the last match between the two teams, who hit the post against the Carthage Eagles.

This France - Denmark will be played on the lawn of the 974 stadium which can accommodate 44,000 spectators.

For the little anecdote, it bears this name in reference to the telephone indicator of Qatar. 

For the most superstitious, the Danes were in the Blues group in 1998 and 2018... and we know the rest!
