France, Denmark, Tunisia and Australia will compete for the playoffs in Quartet D. Who will take the vouchers in 1/8?
France, Denmark and Australia enjoyed playing together in the same group at the 2018 World Cup, so they decided to repeat it at the tournament in Qatar. There is only one change - Tunisia will play instead of Peru.
France is the current world champion, having won the cup in Russia, and now they will try to defend it. The French performed extremely poorly in the group stage of the League of Nations, winning one victory in six rounds, so we need to show that it was not a matter of bad form, but a lack of motivation. In 2018, France won the group with seven points, and this time it should finish first.
Perhaps Group D is one of the most uninteresting in terms of intrigue. The main contender for the second place is Denmark, and with a confident margin. In the qualifying stage of the World Cup, she won nine games out of ten, and in the group stage of the League of Nations she won four victories with two losses and almost reached the playoffs. Australia, and even more so Tunisia, are inferior in the quality of performers, so they are unlikely to be able to get involved in the battle for the second position. Most likely, Australia will finish third and Tunisia fourth.
Forecast
France and Denmark should easily reach the playoffs, as they did during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
