Ranking gap is the story

France sit 13 places above Senegal in the FIFA ranking (#1 vs #14) — a gap of that size is hard for the underdog to close in a one-off match. France comes out at 41%, Senegal at 31%, with the rest on the draw. Combined upset-or-draw chance keeps this one flagged as Upset Watch.
