🔍 Scotland v France Winner Prediction

Two of the strongest teams in the competition will collide again for the 2024 Six Nations. Let's take a look at how they match up to see if we can predict a winner.

1. History: France and Scotland have played each other since 1910. There have been a total of 102 games, resulting in 59 wins for France, 40 wins for Scotland and 3 draws. In the 2023 Six Nations Championship, France beat Scotland 32-21. Past performance would point to a French win.
2. Last round performance: It was a big week for both sides last week, neither presenting their best. Wales v Scotland was a tale of two halves, with the Scottish demolishing their Celtic counterparts 0-27 in the first 40 minutes and being lucky to hold onto a 26-27 win at the close. France v Ireland ended with a shock defeat for the home side after France lost second row Paul Willemse to two yellow cards (resulting in a red) for more than half the match. As a result, France suffered their biggest defeat to Ireland on home soil. This would seem to give Scotland the edge.
3. World rankings: France are currently in fourth and Scotland are in sixth. This seems to point to a French win by a whisker.
4. Home advantage: Playing at Murrayfield, you would imagine Scotland to have quite the home advantage. The fans in tartan will add a fantastic atmosphere, and this will assist the team on the field.
5. Weather: The forecast is 4°C with rain and cloud - normal Scottish weather. France have played in similar conditions before, but this is the Scots' bread and butter. Again, this will aid the Scottish over the French.
6. Game play: The Scottish game play will be built around Finn Russell, with him commanding fast-flowing rugby and playing whatever is in front of the team. This is similar to the traditional style of playing for the French, but Fabien Galthié has spent time and effort developing beyond this in order to create a unique French flair that exploits weaknesses in opposition lines. Combining this with Shaun Edwards' style of chop-and-top defence, the game play should definitely be in favour of France.

This is going to be a titanic struggle between the two teams. Scotland last week won in Cardiff for the first time since 2002, and France will have given them some hope with their loss against Ireland, but will Gregor Townsend's men have two halves in them this time around? France will sustain pressure for the full 80 minutes, and by sheer grit, I can see them coming up with a win by five points. I think this is going to be a game to watch!

✔️ Scotland v France Betting Tips

1️⃣ Match Winner: France to Win

It is going to be a close game, so I am not surprised to see that the bookies are offering decent odds on Scotland v France. My top pick for a match winner bet would be France to win at 1.65 at Betway, and for this one, I think I would be tempted to have a bet myself.

2️⃣ Handicap Winner: France to Win (-4.5)

I think the French are looking good to put a five-point difference on the scoreboard, so the best option with that thinking seems to be France to win (-4.5) at 1.94 at LegendPlay Sports. That does not leave a lot of wiggle room, however, so be aware that any Scottish win, a draw, or any French win of four points or less would actually see you lose your bet. For that reason, remember to gamble responsibly because there are no guarantees in rugby.
