France enters the World Cup as one of the main favorites. Despite a 2-1 friendly defeat to Ivory Coast, the French quickly recovered, crushing Northern Ireland 3-1. With the attacking potential of Mbappé and Dembélé, and the experienced Didier Deschamps, the French are obliged to confirm their status as a top team. A victory in the first round is essential for them to smoothly advance through the group, and the team's motivation is enormous, as they also include a formidable Norway.
Senegal is a very difficult opponent for France, primarily because of their history. The legendary 0-1 victory in 2002 is still fresh in the fans' memories. The Lions of Teryanga are the reigning African champions, and under the guidance of their leader, Sadio Mané, they certainly don't intend to sit back and pose a challenge to any elite team.
Nevertheless, the current level of teams is incomparable. However, we'll go with a confident victory for the European giants. France is too strong and experienced to stumble in the first round.
