For the second match of week two of the Summer Internationals, one of the favourites for the Rugby World Cup, France will travel to Edinburgh to take on Scotland at Murrayfield. This Scotland v France test will kick off at 3.15 p.m., with the home side looking to make a good showing and claim a shock win against their continental European counterparts. This will be the first of two games that the teams will play, and you will be able to read my part two, France v Scotland prediction later on.

The man in the middle for this match is Ben O'Keefe from New Zealand. Ben is the second-most capped New Zealand test referee and has won New Zealand Referee of the Year three times: in 2018, in 2021, in and 2022.

The first Scotland v France test was played in 1910, and the two teams have played each other 100 times in total. Since their first encounter, Les Bleus, France have claimed 58 victories whilst Scotland have come up trumps 39 times. There have also been three matches that have been drawn. Will the Scots be able to overturn history and recapture the Auld Alliance Trophy from the French or can we expect the talent and flair of the world-number-two visitors to outshine their opponents for the second time this year? Let's dive into my Scotland v France rugby prediction and give you my thoughts.

🔍 Scotland v France Match Winner Prediction

The history books may tell a story of a lean towards a French win, but will that be the case? In the shorter term - specifically in the last 10 games - Scotland have won four tests; France six. That suggests to me that we may still see some back and forth on the scoreboard as the game progresses. Both sides will be looking for the big W and the confidence that will bring, going into the autumn Rugby World Cup.

That being said, even with Scotland having the home advantage, I can see France getting stuck into this match early into the first half, with Scotland then playing catch-up for the remainder of the 80 minutes. I see France dominating this test in the key areas but there still being a relatively small margin that separates the sides. I think Les Bleus will be happy to come away from this one in the black by six points.

✔️ Scotland v France Betting Tips

1️⃣ Match Winner: France to Win

Finally! Betting sites have seen fit to offer odds a little more competitive than for my Scotland v Italy and New Zealand v Australia predictions. I think 1.90 at LeoVegas offers good value for money - risk versus potential reward - and I would be tempted to make this bet. As ever, though, there are no guarantees in sports, so if you fancy a flutter, be sensible!

2️⃣ Handicap Winner: France to Win (4-0)

Because I see this game going in the favour of France by six points, I think a bet on France to win (4-0) at 1.96 at TonyBet Sports could be very interesting. What this means is that Scotland would start with a hypothetical handicap of four points and that you would need Les Bleus to win by five or more points in order for your bet to be successful. If that happens, your winnings would almost be double your stake. If that sounds appealing, great, but before you place a bet, remember the risk involved! France winning by only four points, for example, would mean in this hypothetical situation that there would be a draw and you would not win. If France win by four or less, draw, or even lose, say so long! to your bet. This is going to be a close game, so be mindful being staking any money.

3️⃣ Both Halves: France to Win Both Halves

I have a feeling that France could potentially win both halves of this match, albeit by a low score, so you might be interested in having a flutter on this market. The best way to make this kind of bet would be to make a combination bet with Betway for France to win the match and for them to be winning by the end of the first half at odds of 2.67.
