Didier Deschamps' France beat Germany in their opening game of the tournament, but a surprise 1-1 draw with Hungary leaves Les Bleus with work to do against Portugal. France have four points from two games and a win on Tuesday will see them top Group F. However, the finalists from the previous tournament will be looking to avenge their defeat against the reigning champions on Tuesday.
