France were one of the teams that really struggled in their opening match. They did eventually defeat Australia but needed a lot of luck in order to do so. They will now have to improve their game when they will clash against Peru on Thursday. Peru were really good against Denmark in the other match of the group but met a very frustrating loss.

France were really complacent against Australia, and barely won their match thanks to a lot of luck. They did take the lead at the 58th minute when Griezmann scored from the spot but were equalized just four minutes later from another penalty kick. However, Paul Pogba scored a weird goal when his shot was deflected off an opposing defender, for the final 1-2. France will now have to reconsider their options ahead of the clash with Peru, especially on the offense. Maybe Oliver Giroud needs to start up front, with Griezmann and Mbappe backing him up from the sides.
Peru will surely be feeling hard-done about the outcome of their first match against Denmark. Peru were the better team in the pitch, but they conceded the only goal in one of their opponents’ three shots on goal. Peru had the chance to take the lead at the end of the first half, when they were awarded a penalty kick. However, Cueva shot the ball at the stars and the two teams stayed tied at 0-0. However, a moment of carelessness in the back allowed Denmark to score the only goal of that match, for the final 1-0.

eru face their most difficult opponent in this match and will go out there looking for a win. France can easily capitalize on that, as they have the talent, the speed and the strength in order to do so. This looks like it will be a tough match for both sides, but I will go with the Over 2.5 Goals here.
