France open their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign against Senegal in Group I at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Tuesday June 16.
The last time these two sides met at a World Cup was on the opening day in 2002 when Senegal beat the reigning champions 1-0 in one of the greatest upsets in tournament history.
Senegal are no soft opener, they finished unbeaten at the top of their African qualifying group and arrive with a Premier League-packed attack capable of hurting any defence. This is a proper game and the odds reflect it.
France won four of their last five matches. They beat Northern Ireland 3-1, after the shock 1-2 defeat to Ivory Coast on 4th June that exposed a defensive line. Though their competitive form is strong having beaten the likes of Colombia 3-1 and Brazil 2-1 previously.
To be precise, France score goals but they give them away too, conceding in four of their last five.
Michael Olise was the standout in the Northern Ireland win, scoring three times. He is in the best form of any France attacker heading into this tournament. With Mbappe carrying a thigh concern after missing Real Madrid’s La Liga run-in, Olise is the man to back.
Senegal beat England 3-1 away last summer and reached the AFCON final earlier this year before handing over the trophy to Morocco. Their results since have been poor – a 3-2 loss to the USA on May 31 and a 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia on June 10.
There are fitness doubts over Koulibaly and Ismaila Sarr heading into the fixture. But Nicolas Jackson leads the line with pace and directness, Iliman Ndiaye creates in tight spaces and Senegal’s counter-attacking profile is exactly the type to hurt a France side that has been giving goals away.
The best bet for this match is France to win and both teams to score at 3.75 odds. The Blues have too much quality, but their recent defensive record suggests they will concede.
Senegal’s pace through Jackson and Sarr on the counter is exactly the profile to hurt a France defence that dropped points against Ivory Coast.
Michael Olise to score anytime at 2.88 is the player pick. He is in the best form of any France attacker heading into this tournament, was the standout in the final warm-up and carries a direct, unpredictable style that Senegal will struggle to contain. With Mbappe not at 100 per cent, Olise is the man most likely to decide this game.
France 3-2 at 34.00 is the correct score tip. France score three through their relentless attacking quality. Senegal score twice through their counter-attacking pace. Both teams’ recent form backs a high-scoring game and the 3-2 is the most logical outcome if BTTS lands. At 34.00 the value is exceptional.
