The cat backs Les Bleus to win the match and progress to the semi-final for the third consecutive tournament, having reached the final in the past two editions.

Deschamps confirms Mbappe’s readiness
French head coach Didier Deschamps has dismissed insinuations that captain Kylian Mbappe is shaken by the off-pitch row with Paraguayan politician Celeste Amarilla.
Senator Amarilla and Mbappe clashed on social media after the intense battle between France and Paraguay, during which the politician racially abused the Real Madrid star.
The incident attracted global political attention, with the French captain receiving support from French President Emmanuel Macron and the Paraguayan government.
Deschamps downplayed the impact of the incident on the attacker, describing him as a mentally strong person.

“Kylian is fine. On a mental level, he went through something, and I don’t want to go back over that. He is a very strong young man, both mentally and physically,” Deschamps told FIFA.
“His focus is entirely on tomorrow’s match, which will be very difficult because we have two teams that possess quality, and there is only room for one team to go through.
“Kylian is doing well, just like the rest of the group, and he is ready for tomorrow’s game.”
