France will hope to continue the near-flawless start to their World Cup defence on Wednesday as they face Tunisia in their final Group D game.

Many questioned whether the 2018 champions would be able to cope without influential midfield duo N’Golo Kanté and Paul Pogba heading into the tournament while Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema has yet to feature due to injury but Didier Deschamps’ team have quickly silenced the doubters – beating Australia and then Denmark in their first two group games to qualify for the last 16.

As their goal difference is six better than the only side that can catch them, the Socceroos, France look to have already won the group but they won’t want to take their pedal off the gas as they build momentum for the knockout stages.

Tunisia need to beat Les Bleus – a feat they’ve achieved in a competitive fixture just once in their history – to have any chance of making it to the round of 16.

Even then they’ll need the result in Group D’s other game to go their way, as if Australia win or Denmark win and better their scoreline, the Eagles of Carthage will be heading home before the fun really begins.
