France 2-0 Australia
Not a single player from either team scored from open play at the correct end of the field when these two sides met four years ago, and that has been an area of weakness for Australia in World Cup games gone by.

The Socceroos can take some encouragement from their winning streak and France's ongoing injury woes, but Les Bleus' lineup is still intimidating to say the least, and we have faith in the defending champions to break the opening matchday curse and start in perfect fashion.

法国2-0澳大利亚
四年前两队相遇时，双方都没有一名球员在正确的边路空位进攻中取得进球，而这一直是澳大利亚队在过去的世界杯比赛中的薄弱环节。

足球队可以从他们的连胜和法国队持续的伤病问题中得到一些鼓励，但蓝衣军团的阵容仍然令人生畏，至少可以说，我们有信心卫冕冠军打破首场比赛日的诅咒，以完美的方式开始。
