France V Australia: Predictions, Head to Head (H2H), Stats, Preview, and Betting Tips

France head into this tournament as one of the favorite to lift the trophy and will want to start their campaign on a higher note.
The Didier Deschamps coached side boosts a crop of a talented squad that couldn't accommodate the likes of Laccaztte Martial and Rabiot.
The only biggest concern is how they can work as a unit to go all the way to the finals as they have shown some complacency in certain matches where they were expected to win comfortably.
France have tried different formation during their warm up matches trying to fit Pogba and Giroud as they are the biggest puzzle Deschamps has failed to solve yet.
But he is most likely to use the 4-4-2 that means Matuidi an energetic figure at middle of the park misses out.
Australia on the other are the underdogs of the group and are coached by Netherlands tactician Bert van Marwijk.
Marwijk may not have had adequate time to prepare this side having been in charge for six months but as enough experience in his locker to give a few surprises in Russia.
However his defense line may cost him as they lack leadership and experience of playing at top level football.

Expect this to be a straight victory for the Le Bleus but do no be surprised with an upset.

H2h

These two nations have met each other three times, with France and Australia each getting one win, one draw, and one defeat for their troubles. The most recent was a 6-0 thrashing by France in a 2013 friendly.

Probable line ups

France 4-4-2: Lloris, Sidibe, Varane, Umtiti, Mendy, Kante, Pogba, Lemar, Griezmann, Mbappe, Giroud
Australia 4-2-3-1: Ryan, Risdon, Sainsbury, Milligan, Behich, Luongo, Mooy, Kruse, Leckie, Rogic, Nabbout

Player to watch:

Antoine Griezman the slicker forward who his France mainstay plies his trade for Atletico Madrid and can play across the front four position and he is a goal poacher with dazzling feet he also complements well with Giroud with great effect.
Aaron Mooy is the most influential player for the Socceroos , the midfielder who plays for Huddersfield can dictate the tempo of the midfield at the same time unlock the opponents defence with his trademark long passes.
