France will get an opportunity to redeem themselves in the UEFA Nations League tonight against another side that started on bad ground, the French side unbelievably lost to Denmark a few days ago.
Denmark wasn't meant to be the side with lesser hope against France but they switched sides and made the French team very uncomfortable after trashing them 2 - 1, it happened really quickly and I guess the French team didn't see it coming.
Tonight, they go head to head against Croatia. That's another side that lost real big to Austria in their first match, it was a surprising defeat for the Croatians. The two underrated teams in the group performed incredibly well and things went the other way for the countries with the biggest attention and expectations.
It would be a different experience today as France and Croatia battle for redemption, they both need the match to boost their hopes of progressing to the next round of the competition. The two teams are comfortably sitting at the bottom of the league table and it would be a huge disappointment if either of them fail to progress from the group stage.
The Croatians will be the host tonight and that can make things really difficult for France because they won't be giving them a chance to allow a point slip to the French team.
Although France has been the better in their previous meeting, it is hard to predict the winner judging by the team's records. A lot of teams have broken the curse and gotten their win against the big boys for the first time and Croatia might be doing the same thing if they realised their mistakes from the previous match and make amendments.
The French team won't be coming easy as well, it is uncertain if Kylian Mbappe will be available for the encounter after he picked an injury against Denmark. The report has it that it wasn't a fatal injury and we could be seeing him in action later tonight will be a good boost for the French team.
France woulddn't want the first match experience to repeat itself and Croatia wouldn't want to let their guards down as well, that's where the excitement comes in.
I definitely won't want to miss that encounter for any reason, it would definitely give many suspenseful moments. Meanwhile, Denmark vs Austria encounter will be a huge one as well.
The two countries will be battling to sit at the top of the table, they won't be going easy on each other. They have got the perfect morale to win the match and I just know there will be goals even if it ends in a draw.
