Austria in the third round. In the fourth round, France lost to Croatia 0-1 at home, and it was not until the fifth round that they ushered in their first victory, defeating Austria 2-0 at home, but in the final round, they lost to Denmark 0-2 away.

This time in the UEFA Nations League, France was double-killed by Denmark in the group stage, which still has some impact on the players’ psychology.
They were drawn together in Group C at the 2018 World Cup, when they drew 0-0 in the final round of the group stage. In addition, Denmark is also the only opponent France did not beat on the road to winning the last World Cup.
In the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, France, Denmark, Tunisia and Australia are tied in Group D.
