France go into this as heavy favourites, but despite conceding only three goals in the qualifying stage, Didier Deschamps side haven't kept a clean sheet since playing Ukraine in November.
Granted, they have been without William Saliba for four of the five games since then, and if his return to training on Sunday means he's playing, the defence should be improved.
But even so, conceding against Northern Ireland, the Ivory Coast, and Azerbaijan in three of their last five is not a great look.
If Senegal is indeed the dark horse tipped here, they're probably closer to France's former opponents, Colombia, who registered 14 shots against Les Bleus in March.
In their last five games, Mané has had 18 shots, with 12 of those on target. Gueye has had 23 attempts, with 10 on target.
Yes, the strength of their opponents hasn't been anything to write home about in that span, but after having a combined 21 shots vs. USA and Morocco, they should have a few attempts here.

Senegal only conceded three times in the qualifying stage, but France is a totally different beast, and Olise, tipped by two of DAZN Panel to be the star of the tournament, is a major part of what makes them so dangerous.
With nine goals in his 13 appearances for France, including a hat-trick against Northern Ireland last week, he's oozing confidence.
The assists have dried up on the international stage lately, with just two in his last 13, but we know he's capable, having created chances in eight of his previous 12.
And this is all before we even take into account his 15 goals and 20 assists for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
Suffice to say, he should be a constant threat on Tuesday, and at 5/3 to score or assist, he's solid value.
Odds correct as of June 15, 2026. Recommended bets are advised to over-18s.
