France vs Argentina Predictions

France are slight favourites to qualify for the quarter final and to win this match in the 90 minutes they are 6/4 at Betway. They were one of the pre-tournament favourites but haven’t exactly set the tournament alight just yet and their first two wins were not convincing, however they did get the job done and played out a predictable 0-0 draw with Denmark in their last group match to ensure both sides qualified. Argentina needed an 86th minute winner in their last group game to get to this point and they look totally unbalanced and without any real defensive quality – one thing that is a positive is Lionel Messi and their striking options.

 

Match Prediction – Who will win? Uruguay or Portugal?

The first of our France vs Argentina predictions is for France to win the match. Argentina look really vunerable defensively and with the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Dembele and Mbappe in their team, the French will surely get plenty of opportunities. Lionel Messi is capable of winning matches on his own but doesn’t seem to do it as often for his country. The best odds for France to win are 6/4 at Betway.

 

Anytime Goalscorer Predictions

In their opening match France played without Giroud but the following two games seen Giroud start with Griezmann in behind, it is debatable which formation works best for the French but for our anytime goalscorer tip we’re going to look for some better value and go for one of the France wingers to get on the scoresheet. Kylian Mbappe scored the winner against Peru and given the Argentinan defensive worries, his pace should cause trouble here so we’re having a bet on Mbappe to score anytime. The best odds are 27/10 at 888Sport.

 

Correct Score Predictions

The final selection for today’s France vs Argentina betting tips is in the correct score market. We have already predicted a France win here but it would be no surprise at all to see Argentina get on the scoresheet. With Messi, Higuain, Aguero and Di Maria in their ranks they will surely get chances. The selection for our correct score prediction is France to win 2-1 and the best odds for this are 10/1 at bet365.
