Match prediction 34 of 48 of our Rugby World Cup 2023 betting series.

frane-vs-italy

France's last game of the pool stage at the Rugby World Cup 2023 will see them take on Italy, who still have somewhat of an outside chance of making it through to the last eight. This match will take place at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon, with a kick-off time of 20:00 GMT.

England's Karl Dickson will be the main in the middle for this match, while his touch judges will be Craig Evans (Wales) and Luke Pearce (England). South Africa's Marius Jonker will be the man watching the screen to see anything missed by those out on the field.

France and Italy are familiar foes on the rugby pitch as they have met a total of 47 times, with the French winning 44 times and the Italians picking up just the three wins. Will France make it 45 wins against the Italians and enter the Quarter-Finals with four wins from four, or will Italy pick up a rare win? Read my predictions below to find out.

🔍 France v Italy Winner Prediction

When you look at the Rugby World Rankings, you will see France sitting in 2nd place and italy sitting in 11th place. This big gap between the two teams would indicate an easy win for Les Bleus. However, France will know that any complacency will see them suffer a surprising defeat. The French will be missing Antoine Dupont after he suffered a fractured cheekbone, but they should be able to cope without him for this game.

I do not see France putting out their strongest team for this match as they will have one eye on their quarter-final clash, while Italy will put out all of their best players as they know that anything other than a win will see them exit stage left. Despite this, my money is still on a France win, and I expect them to do so by around 25-30 points.

✔️ France v Italy RWC Betting Tips

I will now use this online betting guide to give you some top tips for betting on this game. Always gamble responsibly and do not spend more money than you can afford to lose.

1️⃣ Match Winner: France to Win

The odds for France to win, despite the fact that they might put out a weakened side, are very short, so there is little point in betting on them in my opinion. The match winner market, due to the poor odds, is something that I would recommend avoiding for this particular match.

However, if you really want to bet on France to be victorious, then William Hill are offering odds of 1.03.

2️⃣ Handicap Winner: France to Win (-27)

I see France winning this match pretty comfortably, so giving them a 27-point disadvantage is something that appeals to me very much. If you place such a wager, then France would need to win the match by 28 points - I can see the French winning by 25-30 points, so this is worth a look.

If you would like to place a -27-point handicap on France, then William Hill are currently offering odds of 1.91.

3️⃣ Winning Margin

The winning margin market can have some good offerings - the bookmaker will provide various point ranges and you have to guess the points range that the victors will win by.

Earlier I said that I can see France winning by 25-30 points, and Spreadex are currently offering odds of 5.50 for Les Bleus to win by 26-30.
