France v Australia
2 pm ET Tuesday, Fox
France, at least, don’t have to start the World Cup against Denmark, as they play a very different line-up to the team that won the World Cup in 2018. As you probably already know, Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante are all out. through injuries and Raphael Varane and Joules Kounde are recovering from injuries. France should win this one easily and under 2.5 goals at +105 looks our favorite game. This is a team that tends to play conservatively even with all its stars in the lineup.
