Kylian Mbappe and co have the strongest squad at the World Cup and Didier Deschamps has the perfect blend of youth and experience to choose from.

Australia, on the other hand, will be fighting to just progress out of the group and into the knockout stages.

France v Australia prediction

France will be confident of dominating against Australia on Tuesday night.

Didier Deschamps's likely starting front line will be Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema - and they have the likes of Olivier Giroud on the bench if things aren't going to plan.

Australia will try to keep it tight and hit France on the counter attack, as well as using set pieces, however France should have more than enough to deal with the Socceroos.
