France plays its first match in this edition of the World Cup with the intention of winning a positive result. The team comes into this encounter after a defeat with Denmark by (2-0). France has won 5, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their last 10 games played for all competitions. Their attack has been scoring regularly, as they have scored goals in 8 of their last 10 games. In its games there is a tendency towards goals, as 21 of its last 24 games have ended with More than 1.5 goals.

In its last 20 games in all competitions there is 1 outstanding period: it has conceded 9 of its 19 goals between the minutes (31′-45′).
Will France end the tradition of the champion being eliminated in the group stage of the next World Cup? Despite featuring some of the best athletes in the world, France is going through some internal problems, much to blame for their elimination against Switzerland at EURO 2020. After this “humiliation”, coach Didier Deschamps has ordered the return of Karim Benzema, Real Madrid player and current Golden Ball winner. The French national team usually plays in a 3-4-3, favoring a faster style of play, with the three most advanced pieces being Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappé and Karim Benzema. One of the main flaws of the blue team is the way they approach the aerial game, and they usually have some weaknesses in this aspect. All players are available for this game.
Australia plays its first match in this edition of the World Cup with the intention of getting a positive result. In the last match it played, for the national team friendly, it beat New Zealand by (0-2). In the last 10 matches, Australia won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Its attack has been scoring regularly, as it scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 games, it has only managed 1 turnover in the scoreboard in the 4 games in which it conceded the first goal.
Australia comes into this World Cup 2022 without much ambition, as it features few quality weapons. Over the years, the Australian team couldn’t renew its players and at the moment, one of the biggest stars is Celtic’s midfielder Aaron Mooy, currently 32 years old. Australia usually plays in a 4-3-3 formation, favoring a faster style of play, with the three most advanced players being Awer Mabil, Martin Boyle, and Jamie Maclaren. The man responsible for defining and leading his team’s attacks is midfielder Aaron Mooy, a player with an enviable capacity for vision. Coach Graham Arnold can count on all his players.
