Kylian Mbappe and France make their 2026 World Cup debut tomorrow afternoon when they battle one of Africa's most iconic teams - Senegal.
It's a highly anticipated showdown between two highly regarded teams - France is ranked No. 2 in the world by FIFA and Senegal is No. 16.
Les Blues are clear favorites coming into the match (-209), but Senegal was crowned African champions in Morocco back in January - though their title was stripped by CAF due to them leaving the field in protest of a refereeing decision at the end of normal time.
France finished as the champs in 2018 and the runner-up in 2022 in large part due to their uber-talented striker Mbappe.
The 27-year-old has been legendary for France on the biggest international stage. He scored four goals in seven games at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and put eight into the back of the net in 2022 in Qatar.
He's looking to win his second Golden Boot in back-to-back World Cups, and his reign starts tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium in New York.
Here's a look at the odds for Kylian Mbappe to score, assist, and more in his first match of the 2026 World Cup:
