3. Australia vs France Betting Predictions
Before making predictions for Australia vs France, we can reflect on their previous encounters. Interestingly, France played Australia in the group stage of the 2018 WC, providing both teams with insights from four years ago. France scored first in that match, but Australia quickly equalized. France intensified their efforts in the final minutes, resulting in an own goal by Australia to secure the win. Their last meeting was in a friendly in 2013, where France won comfortably, scoring six goals without reply.
While we do not expect a repeat of a 6-goal margin (especially with the absence of injured Karim Benzema), we anticipate France to claim all three points. Our first prediction for Australia vs France is for France to win at 1.25 with bet365. Given the odds, we need to consider additional predictions, including potential goals.
