His energy and anticipation sense enable him to cover a lot of ground, press opponents, and start attacks after winning back possession. The Frenchman possesses high stamina, energy, and the ability to go on lung-bursting runs through the middle of the park. Diouf is also very difficult to knock off the ball thanks to his strength, ability to shield the ball. His creativity and passing skills allow him to provide some last-minute killer passes inside the penalty box. His long, reaching legs are very helpful when tackling and recovering from mistakes. Diouf has played 37 games this season in which he scored only once.

Denmark U21 vs France U21 Prediction
