France was not impressive in the middle of the field in the narrow 2-1 win over Australia, which is a match they definitely could have lost. Veteran Blaise Matuidi may get the start in the midfield and the French have to shore up that area of the pitch.

Peru did not play bad defense in the opening loss to Denmark, as they gave up seven corners and five shots on target. The Danes played a physical match against them committing 18 fouls and if that happens with France Peru has to take advantage of set pieces.

Peru gave way too much space to Denmark in their loss to them and they have to avoid that in this match. Paul Pogba from Manchester United did not look very good in the win over the Aussies and he has to lead the French midfield facing Peru, who are not great in that area of the pitch.

France is unbeaten in their last five matches where they have only conceded four goals. They committed a dumb foul to give Australia the penalty, which they scored, and that cannot happen again.

Jefferson Agustín Farfan and André Martín Carillo were around the defensive Danish box often, but could not get off many solid shots. They have to lead the attack in this match and the counter will also be key for Peru, but that may be hard to do with the midfield that they have.

France vs. Peru betting predictions

Peru had their chances in their 1-0 loss to Denmark and France was a little lucky to escape with a win and three points against Australia.

France will play a much better and smarter match in this encounter and with their superiority in the midfield they will dictate the match, which they will win 2-0.
