🔍 France v England Winner Prediction
Only one team can grab a final win by the dying embers of the competition, but will those embers result in fireworks for France or for England? Let us take a look at the key indicators.
History
England and France have played each other on 110 occasions, with England having grabbed 60 wins to France's 43 - seven matches having been drawn. That would make you think that England look the more likely to grab the win in this game, but then you have to consider that France smashed England, 10-53 in last year's competition, so perhaps history does not give us a clear picture.
Last Performances
France Matches | Result |
---|---|
France v Ireland | 17-38 |
Scotland v France | 16-20 |
France v Italy | 13-13 |
Wales v France | 24-45 |
England Matches | Result |
---|---|
Italy v England | 24-27 |
England v Wales | 16-14 |
Scotland v England | 30-21 |
England v Ireland | 23-22 |
I had France pegged as title contenders prior to the start of the competition, but they come into round five with two wins, one draw, and one loss. England, by contrast, have proved a dark horse in this year's competition with three wins and a loss. Based on performances in the competition so far, I think England may stand something of a chance in this game.
World Rankings
The oracle of world rugby has France in fourth and England in fifth. This is a knife's-edge difference, but it does point the way of a win for France.
Home Advantage
I think the French will be happy to be playing at home for this one. They may be without the Stade de France to host, but playing at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais will provide a huge boost to the team. A singing French crowd should prove an excellent 16th man on the pitch. I believe this factor will go some way in making a difference to the final score.
Weather
The weather forecast is 18°C with cloud. I would say this may not be the sort of conditions you may expect in France in March, but they are nothing extraordinary, so neither side should gain any advantage from this.
Game Play Styles
The French will be looking to mix it up with their huge running forwards in order to pressure the set piece from the off. We should see a lot of bash and crash forward play before the French unleash their wingers at the defensive line.
I think England may be the lacking team when it comes to style of play, but if they show the sort of want and need we saw last week against Ireland, Steve Borthwick's men may just have a chance.
Winner Summary
Both teams will be desperate for the big W, but will it be something of a stalemate between two sides that may look to rely on forward dominance? I think this match will be all about hearts and minds, and with France typically stepping up a gear in matches against England, I can see them doing the business to secure their last win of the Six Nations. It should be an exciting match to watch, but I think there will still be 10 points difference on the scoreboard by the end of 80 minutes.
✔️ France v England Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: France to Win
I am happy to see some OK odds from the bookies for this game, given that I do not think either side will hand out a pasting to the other. My feeling is with a French win, and with the option of France to win at 1.41 at 1Bet Sports, I think I would be happy to have a punt on this game.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: France to Win (-8.5)
10 points is by how much I think France will grab the big W. Based on that thinking, I think my recommendation would be France to win (-8.5) at 2.10 at LegendPlay Sports. To put that in context, however, that means the French would have to win by at least three scores to secure any winnings, so remember to gamble responsibly to avoid disappointment if things do not pan out as I foresee them.
