France Predicted Team Performance For World Cup
Despite reaching the final four years ago, France look a team to oppose in the World Cup odds. They are not the force of old and many of their best players have no retired and many of their best players are arguably over rated.

France World Cup Odds Analysis
France have to go into the World Cup at fairly short odds because of their reputation and previous performances, they have after all reached the final in two of the past three World Cups. The glory days are other though and they are likely to strugle in South Africa like they did in Japan and South Korea.
Best Exchange Bet Or Trade On France
Lay France to qualify from their group in South Africa. They struggled in qualifying against worse teams than they will face in their group and they are likely to go home pretty early. This bet should reward at generous World Cup odds.
Recommended Bet: Lay France to progress from their group at Betfair
Best Spread Bet On France
We are strongly opposing France at the World Cup so the best bet is to sell their outright tournament index and their group performance index. The worse they perform, the more you will make, and we think you will make a nice profit.
