France vs Senegal Preview and Team News
France Team News
France, runners-up at the last World Cup, will look to start their campaign on a high note, though Senegal should provide a stern test. Les Bleus enter this fixture in impressive form, having won four times in their last five matches.
The latest outing ended in a comfortable 3-1 victory over Northern Ireland. Michael Olise stole the show with a hat-trick, while Malo Gusto came off the bench and provided an assist.
Didier Deschamps deployed Ousmane Dembele as the central attacking midfielder behind Kylian Mbappe, and the PSG man responded with 90% passing accuracy. Mbappe, meanwhile, posted the most touches (17) in the opposition box.
Fortunately, Les Bleus do not have any injury concerns heading into this game.
France predicted lineup vs Senegal (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Hernandez, Saliba, Upamecano, Gusto; Rabiot, Tchouameni; Doue, Dembele, Olise; Mbappe.
Senegal Team News
Senegal have not been in very good form, as they have won just two of their last five outings. Most recently, they played out a goalless draw with Saudi Arabia.
In that game, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy impressed by making two saves inside the box and three diving saves and posting an impressive 89% passing accuracy. Holding midfielder Lamine Camara, operating in a box-to-box role, recorded the joint-most defensive contributions (five).
Surprisingly, Camara impressed in the other half as well, registering 100% shooting accuracy and winning 100% of all his aerial duels.
The Lions of Teranga have a fully healthy squad available for this matchup.
Senegal predicted lineup vs France (4-2-3-1): Mendy; Diouf, Niakhate, Sarr, Diatta; Camara, Ciss; Mane, Diarra, I. Ndiaye; C. Ndiaye.
France vs Senegal Prediction
- Pick: France to win
- Odds: -217 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: France 2-0 Senegal
France should have enough quality to secure all three points. While Senegal are a talented side and currently rank 14th in the FIFA rankings, Les Bleus sit atop the world rankings and possess greater depth across the pitch.
The gap between the teams may not be enormous, which is why a tight scoreline is possible, but France’s recent form gives them the edge. Senegal have won only twice in their last five matches, while Les Bleus have come out on top four times over the same span.
France vs Senegal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: France total – over 1.5 goals
- Odds: -152 (20Bet)
Les Bleus should score at least two goals. They have netted 12 goals across their last five matches, highlighting their strong attacking form. Senegal, meanwhile, have scored only seven over their last five games.
Most importantly, France have the likes of Mbappe, Dembele, and Olise in their ranks. While Olise arrives on the back of a stunning hat-trick, Mbappe and Dembele have a combined 83 goal contributions for their respective clubs in 2025-26. With so much firepower available, Les Bleus should create enough opportunities to clear the team-total line.
