Who is most likely to score in France vs Senegal?Nabivo's best scorer pick for France vs Senegal is Kylian Mbappé. Our editorial estimate gives him a 41% chance to score.
  • Senegal can make this physical, but one clean run behind the line may be all Mbappé needs.
  • France will keep looking for him whenever the match opens up.
  • If France score, he is still the first player I expect to be involved.
Who is the first-goal pick?Nabivo's first-goal pick is Kylian Mbappé, with a 20% estimated chance to score first.
  • France are likely to test Senegal with his early runs before the defensive block settles.
  • He needs less space than anyone else in this match to turn the first big chance into a goal.
Who is the dark horse scorer?Dayot Upamecano is Nabivo's dark horse scorer for France vs Senegal, with a 8% estimated chance to score.
  • This is the set-piece swing: Upamecano should be one of France's main aerial targets.
  • With Senegal focused on Mbappé and the forwards, he may get one clean attack on the ball.
Our readOur read: Senegal can keep this uncomfortable, but Mbappé does not need France to dominate the whole match. One clean run or one loose touch in the box can be enough.
Will Kylian Mbappé start?Projected to start as France's main left-sided or central attacking threat; the official starting XI is not yet confirmed.
What is Nabivo's bold prediction?Kylian Mbappé scores in the first half and France win.
