In their final FIFA World Cup 2022 group stage match, defending champions France will face Tunisia. Although Les Bleus have already qualified for the round of 16, they still intend to maintain their perfect record. Tunisia, however, needs to defeat France if they are to maintain their chances of qualifying. Despite holding Denmark to a draw, the North Africans fell to Australia. If they defeat France and Denmark defeats Australia, they will still be able to advance to the round of 16.

Alphonse Areola, the second-choice goalkeeper for France, might be out with a back injury, but Deschamps is likely to make a number of changes as he saves his first-choice squad for the knockout stages.
After Lucas Hernandez suffered a horrific cruciate ligament injury, Theo Hernandez is currently the only known left-back in the team. Deschamps is allegedly willing to try Eduardo Camavinga in a left-back position to give the AC Milan defender some relief.
According to reports, Mbappe has chosen that he does not want to take a break, although changes elsewhere might cause William Saliba, Matteo Guendouzi, Kingsley Coman, and Youssouf Fofana to be evaluated for roster spots.
Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris
Defenders: Theo Hernandez, Ibrahima Konate, Dylan Bronn
Midfielders: Mohamed Dräger, Ali Abdi, Adrien Rabiot, Eduardo Camavinga (Vice captain)
Attackers: Marcus Thuram, Kylian Mbappe (Captain), Youssef Msakni.
Kylian Mbappe is likely to emerge as the man with the leading points. He has been in breathtaking form and his blistering pace might prove to be more than a handful for the Tunisians.
The top 3 players to watch out for will definitely be Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga and Adrien Rabiot.
Tunisia may think they have a good chance against a second-string France team, but the African nation’s goal-scoring problems aren’t going away any time soon, and France’s reserves are still a formidable opponent.
We wouldn’t be shocked to see another scoreless draw added to the expanding list, but France’s potent assault can nick a goal to keep its perfect record and dash Tunisia’s ambitions of finishing in the top two.
