FRANCE v PERU

GROUP C 4PM, EKATERINBURG, ITV

FRANcE are my tip to be crowned champions next month but they must improve. They needed a debatable penalty and a deflected Paul Pogba goal to see off Australia in their opening game. Peru only know one way to play — to attack — and that could suit the French.

SUTTON’S VERDICT: France to win 3-1.

FRANCE (4-4-2): Lloris; Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Hernandez; Mbappe, Pogba, Kante, Matuidi; Griezmann, Giroud. PERU (4-2-3-1): Gallese; Advincula, Rodriguez, Ramos, Trauco; Tapia, Yotun; Carrillo, Cueva, Flores; Guerrero. Radio: LIVE BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT. Referee: Mohammed Abdulla Mohamed (UAE).
