France have been drawn in Fifa World Cup Group D and the defending champions are joined by Australia, Denmark and Tunisia
Odds provided by @Olimp_SA are correct at the time of writing but are subject to change.
France
France won the World Cup in Russia 2018 and they have continuity in the coaching ranks through Didier Deschamps and a dynamic strike force of Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe backed up by some experienced campaigners such as Antoine Griezmann.
Qualification was straight forward as France were unbeaten with 5 wins and 3 draws to finish 6 points clear of Ukraine, who fell at the play off hurdle, with Finland, Bosnia and Kazakhstan the other nations in that group.
France are ranked 4th in the world, they disappointed in the Euro's in 2021 and whilst recent results in the Nations League were well below par you get the impression their sole focus is on lifting this trophy again.

Australia
Australia edged their way into the finals with a dramatic penalty shoot out win in the play off final against Peru. They were third in their qualifying group with a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats to finish 7 points shy of Japan and 8 behind Saudi Arabia.
Australia are ranked 38th in the world and they have only made it out of the group stage in 1 of 5 previous attempts, back in 2006 when they bowed out in the first knockout round.
Selected Outright Odds
To win the tournament 375/1
To win Group D 14.75/1
To Qualify from Group D 3/1
Denmark
Denmark qualified automatically after topping their group with 9 straight wins followed by 1 defeat, finishing 4 points clear of Scotland with the likes of Israel and Austria missing out.
Denmark were excellent in the Euro's, bowing out in the semi finals at Wembley against England and they are ranked 10th in the world. Kasper Hjulmand is the coach and he will take heart from 2 recent Nations League wins over group rivals France although they have never been beyond the quarter final stage of the
World Cup.

Tunisia
Tunisia topped their qualifying group with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat to take their place in the African play offs with Equatorial Guinea, Zambia and Mauritania filling the minor places. They edged past Mali (1-0) over 2 legs of their play off.
In WC 2018 Tunisia beat Panama but lost to England and Belgium to exit at the group stage. Jalel Kadri is the coach and they are ranked 30th in the world. In the AFCON finals they had a poor group stage (1 win, 2 defeats) but made the last 16 as a best third placed finisher where they upset Nigeria but then lost to Burkina Faso in the quarter finals.
Selected Outright Odds
To win the tournament 525/1
To win Group D 15.5/1
To Qualify from Group D 3/1
