Ireland vs France Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Euro Cup Qualifiers on Monday, 27 March 2023.
France head into this fixture after an impressive World Cup Journey. Although they lost to Argentina in the final, the team cemented their strength of delivering exceptional performances.
It was their second consecutive World Cup final, after the 2018 season which they have won over Croatia. Going on, they will be facing Ireland in their Group B Euro qualification fixture on Monday.
France can rely on the recent tradition since they won the previous two encounters against Ireland. Their latest clash was in a friendly match five years ago.
They have not met at this stadium in the past decade. France won the last two meetings at this venue, bagging a clean sheet in both.
France’s recent display consists of a set of World Cup fixtures in which they won the most. A defeat against Tunisia in final fixture of the group stage and the defeat against Argentina in the final is recorded as their only other outcome rather than a victory.
Ireland are seen playing a set of friendlies and Nations League fixtures lately. The team didn’t made it to the World Cup and their recent recordings falls short of France’s impressive run irrespective of the competition they played of late.
Their head to head recordings are an addition to back France here. Thus, we are going with the bookmakers pricing of placing France at 1.57 odds to claim the win here.
We don’t expect this match to have goals in plenty because their most recent h2h matches were having goals under 2.5 ft. Especially at this stadium, the last two encounters had fewer than 2.5 goals.
Since we expect a low-scoring match-up, with a win for France, both teams to score is not an ideal bet to rely here. Moreover, their past two meetings at this stadium saw France sealing Clean sheet victories.
France is likely to seal a comfortable win here. Their form has always been good and have been better in the past several years. Ireland, who have lost a couple of fixtures lately against teams like Norway and Scotland, will definitely have a tough time on Monday.
Backing France at 1.57 odds is our main betting pick for this match. Under 2.5 goals at 1.65 odds is our second pick considering their h2h goal numbers.
