World Cup 2022 Group D Primer, TV Schedule - Australia, Denmark, France, Tunisia

Is it wrong to call the defending world champions second favorites in group play in any circumstance?

Because based on recent results, it’s Denmark that appears to be the best team in this group and France has already dropped several players due to injury with Karim Benzema among others being ruled out prior to the opening game.

Denmark on the other hand are flying, knocking off France twice in Nations League play this year and could be primed to make their second ever quarterfinal stage at the World Cup. Tunisia and Australia are not group stage regulars, but do usually pick up at least one result before going home.
