Our last Six Nations round four match will be Wales vs France. Neither team comes into this clash with a great record, but fans at the Principality will hope that changes for Wales when the action kicks off at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
Refereeing this game will be Luke Peace, assisted by Damian Schneider and Andrew Brace. Taking up the role of the TMO will be Ian Tempest.
What may have been pegged as a hell of a game prior to the start of the competition may have somewhat diminished in the eyes of rugby fans after the results of both sides so far. Nonetheless, I think there is plenty to discuss about this clash, so let us get started with my Wales vs France prediction.

🔍 Wales vs France Winner Prediction
Like the colour scheme of every '90s/2000s video game, we have the red team and the blue team about to do battle. Only one team can walk away with one more W, but which will it be? As per usual, let us break down the key statistics to see if we can predict our winner.
History
103 matches adorn the history books, with Wales having won 51 of them, France having won 49, and there having been 3 drawn matches. That may suggest a bit of a 50-50 game at first, but when you consider that France have smashed Wales in five out of five of their last games, we might be putting together a different picture. I think the mutual history points to a French win.
Last Performances
| Wales Matches | Result |
|---|---|
| Wales v Scotland | 26-27 |
| England v Wales | 16-14 |
| Ireland v Wales | 31-7 |
| France Matches | Result |
|---|---|
| France v Ireland | 17-38 |
| Scotland v France | 16-20 |
| France v Italy | 13-13 |
Neither side has had anywhere near their best performances in this tournament, but out of the two, France have at least seen glimmers of hope with two undefeated games - albeit one being a draw against Italy. On recent form, there is no way that Wales's three losses match up, so I think this factor very much points to a French win.
World Rankings
Wales have just about managed to hang on to eighth position, but France look very much in the driving seat for this game in fourth. This is just another tick in the box for Les Bleus.
Home Advantage
There is usually fantastic support at the Principality, which should help lift Wales's game. I can see an advantage to the Welsh from playing at home, but will this be enough of a factor to overturn what seems an inevitable drubbing? I do not think that will be the case.
Weather
The forecast is saying that it should be around 12°C on the day. The continental Europeans may turn up their noses at the cold, but not enough that they will let it affect their game. The weather should not be of benefit to either side.
Game Play Styles
Warren Gatland has not proved a worthy Head Coach since the start of his second tenure, and there may be a worry in the Welsh camp that this will lead to another competition where he builds a record losing streak with his side. What Wales do have in their kicking game can be an effective weapon, but we have not seen this proficiency translate to many points on the board so far.
France have fantastic all-round play - especially in their defence, ironically developed by the former coach for Wales, Shaun Edwards. I expect Les Bleus will offer great power in the front before transitioning to their idiosyncratic flair in their backs play.
With the style of play that Wales have shown in three miserable tests, I imagine that French winger Damian Penaud will be eyeing up a few more tries for his career tally. On game play, I can not see past France winning.
Winner Summary
One team, by their own standards, have had an appalling year in the Six Nations. Then we have Wales. I think France will not post a cricket score, but I can still see them taking this one by nine points.
🏉 France to win by 9 points!
✔️ Wales vs France Betting Tips
I have a few thoughts on how I would bet on this one. See if you feel I am onto something below.
1️⃣ Match Winner: France to Win
I think this is going to be a smooth challenge for France, and at odds of 1.40 at 10Bet Sport, I would be tempted to put a few pennies on this market. Let us just hope the French are fired up enough not to give up a draw to a much lesser team this time around.
2️⃣ Asian Handicap Winner: xxx (-xx.5)
I am going to give myself very little leeway with a suggestion of France (-8.5) to win, given I think the match will end with a 9-point difference, but at odds of 2.16 at All British Sport, I like the look of the potential return. Just be cautious if you fancy following this tip, and remember to bet responsibly.
