World champions France host Croatia in the UEFA Nations League needing a win to climb out of the bottom spot.
The hosts are still without a win and needed a late Kylian Mbappe equalizer last time out to salvage a 1-1 draw against Austria.
The French are bottom of the Group with 2 points, two less than their opponents while Denmark are top with 6.
This game, a repeat of the 2018 World Cup final, comes a week after both teams played out to a 1-1 draw.
A win for Zlatko Dalic’s men on Monday could go a long way in helping them move into second place.
Dalic oversaw a dampening 3-0 defeat to Austria earlier this month, but that is Croatia’s only loss from their last 12 in all tournaments since bowing out of Euro 2020.
