Australia's hopes of progressing from Group D in the World Cup 2022 face their toughest test on Tuesday, as they take on France. Australia will be hoping to cause an upset against a France side that has been severely hampered by injuries.

They came to Qatar without the midfield duo of Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante, and have lost defender Presnel Kimpembe and striker Christopher Nkunku before their opening game. Now, they face a further blow, as Ballon D'Or winner, Karim Benzema, has been ruled out of the tournament with a thigh injury.

That being said, they hardly lack firepower, even after losing some big names – such is the strength of the French national pool. I'm predicting a comfortable, bordering-on-dull, game. Australia haven't scored in open play at the World Cup since 2014, when Tim Cahill bagged against the Netherlands. I see a 2-0 win for France on the cards.
