England can book their place in the quarter-finals as the second-placed team in the group with a win over France at the weekend. It has been a disappointing performance at the tournament from France, they were well beaten by Australia and lost to minnows Lebanon in their opening game. England look to be slowly coming to task and may be saving their best for the knockout stages but despite that, they should have plenty in the tank to beat France here. Let's check details on the best rugby match to bet on.

England vs France Preview

After an opening game loss against Australia, England bounced back in the correct way to beat Lebanon 29-10 last weekend. They have looked good so far, without looking excellent, but despite that, they are a class above France and should have enough to win and qualify as the second-placed team in the group for the quarter-finals.

France managed just 18 points against Lebanon and that meant they lost their opening game, which came as a shock to many. They then went on to put just 6 points on the board against Australia, again resulting in a loss and they look to lack the firepower needed to make a splash at this level. Anything other than three defeats in the group stages from here would be a huge shock.

England vs France Prediction

I think if my prediction on England showing their best as we hit the group stages is correct, then we will see their best performance of the tournament here against France. However, if they do have one eye on the group stages, then they may not want to take too many risks, meaning a changed team and substitutions once the game is won. That is what makes betting on the game difficult, and while I expect nothing other than an England victory, I don’t think they will score as many as some people are expecting them to.

France will know that this is their last game in the tournament so they can throw everything at it with nothing else to focus on, and that may be enough for them to score a couple of tries. Let's check our latest rugby odds.

England vs France Betting Tips

England are definitely going to win the game, but we don’t believe they will win it as comfortably as most expect them to. That means that France are a great bet using the handicap line, which for this game stands at 36 with Unibet, that is the biggest around. They have France priced up at a really good price for +36 points, a great bet considering we believe England will win the game by around 20-25 points. England's form in the match against Lebanon gives us confidence to back them here.

The total points market is another one that interests us in this game because we believe it will be a lot lower scoring than most think. England will go all out to keep scoring, with the quarter-finals in mind, and France don’t appear to have much firepower in them. Betfair have a line of under 38.5 points priced up at a good price, which offers great value and if England win by 20-25 as expected, it has a great chance of landing. France disappointed everyone, managing just 18 points against Lebanon and 6 points against Australia, so their form shows that you can go for an Under 38.5 Points market comfortably.
