Didier Deschamps' men are by far the strongest squad of the group, but the Danes are not far behind.
While the pressure is off Les Bleus to qualify after swanning through the group stages, Denmark still need at least a draw or a win to keep Australia off their backs.
A Danish win could topple France off the top spot and with talisman Christian Eriksen in their arsenal, France will need to get it together.
William Kvist has been ruled out after being stretchered off the pitch in the game against Peru, while France's Samuel Umtiti is not set to feature thanks to a thigh problem.

What time is it?
Denmark vs France kicks off at 15:00 at Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.
Where can I watch it?
ITV will be showing live coverage of the game. The game is also available via the ITV website on ITV Hub.
Odds:
Denmark: 10/3
France: 6/5
Draw: 13/8
Prediction:
Denmark 2-1 France. France will start relaxed after their excellent performance qualified them to the last 16, but Denmark might just catch them out. There's no reason why Denmark shouldn't aim to become group winners and they might have the motivation to do so.

Where has that come from? Substitute Fekir gets the ball in a good area, puts it on his left foot and fires a shot at goal, Schmeichel had it covered though and it hits the side netting

Mbappe had come on for France, most would see this as a sign of intent but saving a feat of individual brilliance it's looking unlikely that we'll see a goal
