Defending champions France will be aiming to secure safe passage into the knockout phase of the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they square up against Denmark on Saturday.
Didier Deschamps's men kicked off their quest to win back-to-back world titles with a 4-1 thrashing of Australia at the Al Janoub Stadium.
Kasper Hjulmand's men, on the other hand, were held to a share of the spoils against Tunisia but remain firmly in contention for a place in the next round of football's biggest tournament.
Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of France and Denmark stack up against each other ahead of the contest.
