Didier Deschamps' men are by far the strongest squad of the group, but the Danes are not far behind.
While the pressure is off Les Bleus to qualify after swanning through the group stages, Denmark still need at least a draw or a win to keep Australia off their backs.
A Danish win could topple France off the top spot and with talisman Christian Eriksen in their arsenal, France will need to get it together.
William Kvist has been ruled out after being stretchered off the pitch in the game against Peru, while France's Samuel Umtiti is not set to feature thanks to a thigh problem.

Odds:
Denmark: 10/3
France: 6/5
Draw: 13/8
Prediction:
Denmark 2-1 France. France will start relaxed after their excellent performance qualified them to the last 16, but Denmark might just catch them out. There's no reason why Denmark shouldn't aim to become group winners and they might have the motivation to do so.
