What to expect from France
France arrive again as one of the strong favourites thanks to a squad full of talent and physical depth. Mbappé leads a team that combines pace, power and attacking ability across just about every line.
Watch out for: how France manage Senegal's depth out wide. Mbappé can decide the match in a single flash, but can also leave the French exposed if he drifts too far from the block.
What to expect from Senegal
Senegal arrive as one of the most competitive African sides of the tournament. Sadio Mané's leadership and the team's physical strength make this fixture one of the toughest of the entire group stage.
Watch out for: Senegal's intensity in individual duels. If they turn the match into a physical battle, they can make life for France much harder than expected.
The stadium: Gillette Stadium
Gillette Stadium, in Foxborough near Boston, is the home of the NFL's New England Patriots. It is closely tied to American sporting culture and stands out for its large outer structure topped with a giant lighthouse. During the World Cup it will adopt FIFA branding and a natural-grass pitch.
