France vs Australia | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
France take on Australia in what is the opening Group C match at this summer’s World Cup Finals in Russia, with Didier Deschamps’ men looking to put their Euro 2016 final loss to Portugal well and truly behind them. The European giants are the firm favourites to claim all three points, however the Socceroo’s have demonstrated in previous major tournaments that they are a side who can raise their game when needed.
Match Preview
Action in Group C of this summer’s World Cup gets underway when France take on Australia in Kazan, with the European giants looking to kick-start their campaign with an opening victory. However, with the Socceroo’s having lost all three of their World Cup matches in Brazil four years ago, Australia will be motivated to give a better account of themselves in Russia. France are the undoubted favourites for victory ahead of kick-off, however there are still plenty of attractive markets worth checking out before the match. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with France.
France Form
France secured their place at the Finals in Russia thanks to a record of just one defeat from ten matches, with manager Deschamps having used their qualifying campaign to introduce some new talent to his playing squad following their Euro 2016 Final defeat to Portugal. The likes of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Lucas Hernandez are among the youngsters to join more experienced members including Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann and Raphael Varane. France defeated tournament hosts Russia in a friendly match back in March this year.
Australia Form
Australia required a two-legged playoff victory over Honduras in order to reach the finals, with Aston Villa midfielder Mile Jedinak scoring a hat-trick in the home leg. Former Saudi Arabia boss Bert van Marwijk took over as manager of the Socceroo’s at the start of 2018, leading his side to a goalless draw with Colombia in their latest friendly match. The likes of Tom Rogic and Aaron Mooy are among the biggest threats for Australia.
Head to Head
The two nations have met just four times in the past, with France having won twice, as well as claiming a single draw in the process. Australia’s sole success against France came in the 2011 FIFA Confederations Cup, however France crushed the Socceroo’s 6-0 when the duo met in a friendly encounter in 2013, with Olivier Giroud scoring twice that day.
France vs Australia Prediction
Their record in the World Cup over the years, along with the talent in their playing squad, means that it comes as little surprise that it is France who are the favourites for victory with the major online bookmakers. The former World Cup winners are available to back for victory at best odds of 2/11 with bookmaker William Hill, while a victory for Australia is priced at an attractive 16/1 on the same platform. Elsewhere, a draw between the duo is available at odds of 21/4 with 10Bet.
France vs Australia Betting Tip: France to keep a clean sheet
However, our top betting tip for the match is to bet on France to keep a clean sheet during the 90 minutes in Kazan, a market which is available at a best price of 1/3 with Ladbrokes.
