Now the 2018 World Cup is underway, we are going to highlight five players you should consider for your Football INDEX portfolios 24 hours before their matches. Here are our three tips for Thursday’s group games:

1. YUSSUF POULSEN (DENMARK VS AUSTRALIA)

The RB Leipzig striker scored the deceive goal in Denmark’s World Cup opener against Peru and will retain his place in the starting XI when Age Hareide’s side face Australia on Thursday.

Denmark are well placed to join France through to the next stage of the competition after starting their campaign with a win and Poulsen should prove key to their success, particularly with Christian Eriksen in the side.

Only Kevin De Bruyne (106) created more goalscoring opportunities than Eriksen (95) in the Premier League last season, which will only benefit Denmark’s attackers.

The 24-year-old’s Football INDEX share price is only £0.88 and he should be considered for your portfolios ahead of Thursday’s World Cup action.

2. OLIVIER GIROUD (FRANCE VS PERU)

Didier Deschamps is set to tinker with his starting XI when France play Peru in their second match of the 2018 World Cup.

France laboured to a 2-1 win over Australia in their first game and Deschamps wants rapid improvements before the knockout phase.

Blaise Matuidi and Olivier Giroud have been tipped to start for France on Wednesday and the latter should be considered for your Football INDEX portfolios.

Giroud divides opinion among supporters but the Chelsea striker has an outstanding goalscoring record for France. In fact, only Thierry Henry and Michel Platini have scored more goals for France than Giroud.

His Football INDEX share price is currently £1.79 and should be looked at ahead of tomorrow’s games.

3. MARCOS ACUNA (ARGENTINA VS NIGERIA)

Argentina slipped to a shock 1-1 draw with Iceland in their first group game of the 2018 World Cup and Jorge Sampaoli has reportedly worked on changes in training ahead of their next outing.

In order to top Group D, the South American outfit really cannot afford to drop any points against Croatia on Wednesday evening. This is their hardest group game on paper and Sampaoli has planned changes following an underwhelming performance last time out.

Marcos Acuna is one of four players tipped to come into the starting XI against Croatia and the versatile wideman should be considered for your Football INDEX portfolios.

The 26-year-old is reportedly one of several Sporting players trying to leave the Portuguese giants this summer and clubs around the continent will have an eye on his performances at this World Cup.

Acuna’s Football INDEX share price is only £0.73 and he could prove an inspired addition to your Football INDEX portfolio.
