Denmark v France Tuesday, 15:00 Live on ITV A point will be enough Denmark's 1-1 draw with Australia on Thursday left them in  second place in Group C  with four points, two behind France. A win for the Danes here would give them top spot above France, while a point would ensure qualification in second place. They will progress regardless of the result here if Australia fail to beat Peru in the other Group C match. Yussuf Poulsen is suspended,  with Martin Braithwaite likely to take his place in the front three. Lasse Schone is expected to continue in midfield in place of the injured William Kvist. Group destiny in French hands With maximum points from their first two matches, France already have a place in the knockout stage and they will progress as Group C winners if they avoid defeat here.

Nigeria v Argentina Tuesday 26th June, 19:00 Live on BBC Youthful Nigeria come of age Nigeria kept their World Cup campaign alive with an electric second-half performance against Iceland to leave Group D  intriguingly poised . The Super Eagles knew defeat would have been curtains in Volgograd but two Ahmed Musa goals after the break swept the debutants aside.

The recalled Leicester man also hit the crossbar as Nigeria eased to three points despite conceding a late penalty, that Gylfi Sigurd...

Iceland v Croatia Tuesday 26th June, 19:00 Live on BBC Iceland melt in Volgograd Having tamed Lionel Messi and Argentina in their opening World Cup game - coming from behind to draw 1-1 with the two-time winners in Moscow - Iceland were expected to pick up a positive result against Nigeria in Volgograd and move towards the brink of the knockout stages. Instead, the  smallest nation ever to qualify  for the tournament are struggling to stay afloat after wilting in the punishing Russian heat. Despite starting well, when Gylfi Sigurdsson forced two early saves, Our Boys were unable to grab the opening goal and then faded badly after the half-time interval. Heimir Hallgrimsson's  men were distinctly second best in the second-half but were gifted a chance to score in the closing stages after Alfred Finnbogason was fouled in the penalty area after a VAR review. Unfortunately, Sigurdsson's high and wide spot kick summed up his country's night. Hallgrimsson remain...
