Match prediction 18 of 48 of our Rugby World Cup 2023 betting series.
Steven's prediction accuracy 2023: ✔️ 84.00%.
Pool A of the Rugby World Cup will continue with France v Namibia on Thursday, the 21st of September. Kick-off will be at 8 p.m. IST and the game will be played at the Stade de Marseille.
The match officials will be Matthew Carley, Andrew Brace, and Craig Evans, with Joy Neville down in the TMO bunker.
Les Bleus and the Welwitschias have had only a short history of matches together, having met each other first in 1999 and again in the 2007 Rugby World Cup. On those two occasions, the French were able to come away with 47-13 and 87-10 victories respectively. Fans will see this clash as an uphill battle for Namibia, but do they have any hope of turning grit and determination into a historic World Cup upset? Let me share my France v Namibia prediction.

🔍 France v Namibia Winner Prediction
This seems to be shaping up to be a bit of a lopsided game. For a start, the world rankings have France in third and Namibia in 21st. The current form of both sides, too, seems to point in France's favour, with two wins from two matches in the Rugby World Cup for Les Bleus against New Zealand, 27-13, and against Uruguay, 27-12, versus Namibia's dismal campaign of two losses from two against Italy, 52-8, and against New Zealand, 71-3.
For me, when the 80-minute mark rolls around, I can foresee French supporters out in droves, deafening opposition rugby fans with the singing of La Marseillaise after another strong performance. France are still one of the strong favourites to win the RWC 2023, and they will win this match no matter the strength of the team that they decide to put out - proved seemingly true by the fact they made 12 changes in their last match to give several experienced players a rest and still came away with the big W. Namibia, meanwhile, have had a torrid time in the World Cup and have become the whipping boys for the stronger teams. Whilst there will a warm welcome from the rugby fraternity for the Africans at the stadium, there will be an immense pressure on them on the pitch, and I see France v Namibia ending in a points difference of 50 points.
