France vs Denmark – Football Whispers' Predictions
France are one of the favourites to go all the way and lift the Nations League trophy but face a tricky home game to start the competition against Denmark. The Danes have Eriksen back in their team but captain Simon Kjær misses the game through injury which will be a concern considering the attacking talent the French squad has on offer.

France to Win
France have won three of their last four head-to-heads with Denmark and we're backing the home side to secure all 3pts on Friday night. France have picked up wins in each of their last six international matches while Denmark have lost their last two away trips, adding further weight behind our prediction for Friday's clash.
Both Teams to Score
There could well be goals in this game for both sides given the attacking options both teams possess. Three of France's last six matches in all competitions have seen both teams score and last time out against South Africa, France scored five times. Both teams have also scored in two of Denmark's last four fixtures and the Danes have only failed to score in one of their last six matches.
