Consider these tips when choosing your bets:
Pay attention to the stats - Make sure you check all available stats, including recent tournament performances and qualifying campaigns. France looked very strong during qualifying and finished runners-up in 2022 after winning the 2018 competition. Meanwhile, Senegal will play in the AFCON, which should give you an idea of their form for the 2026 tournament.
Avoid betting against favourites in the groups - While France are no strangers to being knocked out in the group stage, having done so in 1930, 1954, 1966, 1978, 2002 and 2010, this year should be different. They’re one of the favourites to win, and the new tournament format means that teams should generally have an easier path to the knockouts.
Check team news - Both France and Senegal have key players that are integral to the team, and injuries could have a major impact on how they perform. Make sure you look at the team sheet before betting, and watch out for players who are fatigued by playing long seasons.
