The Scout: World Cup Matchday 11 Preview, 30 Nov

Group D – Tunisia v France

With qualification already secured, France are expected to make a number of line up alterations for the final group game, however Kylian Mbappe does not want to be rested. Eduardo Camavinga, William Saliba, Matteo Guendouzi, and Kingsley Coman are among those in line for a chance to impress.

Tunisia’s second all-time leading scorer Wahbi Khazri is yet to start a game due to fitness concerns but must be considered from the outset with his side needing a win. Wajdi Kechrida or Ferjani Sassi could replace Mohamed Drager at right back following his poor showing against Australia.

WIN France @ $1.40*


Group D – Australia v Denmark

Australia surprised many by making just one enforced change for the game against Tunisia, but they came away with a win and Graham Arnold should keep faith with that side. Arjan Hrustic would be a starter if fully fit but expect him to again be utilised as an impact sub.

For Denmark, Andreas Skov Olsen and Simon Kjaer were omitted against France but should come back in for this game. Midfielder Martin Delaney is out for the rest of the tournament so expect Mikkel Damsgaard to continue in the team, with Christian Eriksen playing a deeper role.

DRAW @ $4.20*


Group C – Poland v Argentina

Robert Lewandowski scored his first World Cup goal against Saudi Arabia and his partnership with Arkadiusz Milik was dangerous throughout. At the other end, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was in superb form and will continue to play behind a settled back four.

Argentina picked up a crucial three points against Mexico and could still top the group. Youngster Enzo Fernandez is in line to start having scored in that game, while Samuel Parades is another who could be given a chance from the outset. Coach Lionel Scaloni needs some consistency in defence if they are to progress to the latter stages.

WIN Argentina @ $1.45*


Group C – Saudi Arabia v Mexico

Saudi Arabia head into the final group game without the suspended Abdulelah Al-Malki and injured duo Yasir Al-Shahrani and Salman Al-Faraj. Salem Al-Dawsari will keep his place, despite seeing a first half penalty saved against Poland.

Veteran midfielder Andres Guadrado is a big doubt for Mexico having been replaced with a muscle problem against Argentina. That should mean a spot in the side for Edson Alvarez, and Raul Jimenez could finally get a start up front given the game is a must-win affair.

DRAW @ $3.85*
