France and Denmark are set to qualify for the Round of 16 as the defending champions have Karim Benzema on board this time around to bolster their attacking unit. As for Denmark, they showed their quality to reach the semi-finals of EURO 2020 and they were excellent in qualifying in Europe.

Denmark also beat France in the UEFA Nations League recently and are playing them just before this World Cup, as these two teams know each other very well and are both favored to go far in Qatar.

Australia are a bad team to play against and will sit back, frustrate opponents and look dangerous on the counter. As for Tunisia, they had a decent AFCON tournament last time out (reaching the quarter-finals) but they seem to be the weakest of the teams in this group.
