Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Kylian Mbappe to Score Anytime – 1.85
France to Win and Under 4.5 Goals
France have won five of their last ten fixtures in all competitions. The stats show a 70% chance for France to win. In the goals market, there is a 90% chance that this game will produce under 4.5 goals.
Australia +2 goals handicap
France beat the +2 goals handicap just twice in the last ten outings at all levels. Australia have not lost by more than two goals in 19 matches across all competitions. they also covered the suggested handicap in three of the four h2hs.
Kylian Mbappe to Score Anytime
Kylian Mbappe is currently the best attacker on the France national team. The 23-year-old was on target 12 times with PSG this season and four times in six games with Les Bleus in 2022. Overall Mbappe has scored 28 goals in 59 caps for France.
France
Reigning World champions France are not in their best form as they travel to Qatar to defend their title. To point out, Les Bleus won just one of their last five games and lost two of the three. Didier Deschamps’s men were dominant in the qualifications though finishing first of their group winning five and drawing three games.
Since the beginning of the year, France featured in eight international games winning three drawing two, and losing three. In front of goal, Les Bleus are averaging 2.20 goals per game in their last ten fixtures while Deschamps’ defense is doing a good job of keeping their goals conceded goals under one at 0.80.
Australia
Australia will be looking to be in top form as they face France for the second consecutive World Cup finals after they were in the same group in Russia in 2018. The Socceroos lost that time to the eventual champions narrowly after they were drawing 1-1 but scored an own goal to lose all three points.
It wasn’t an easy qualification campaign for coach Graham Arnold’s team as they had to go through playoffs against the UAE after finishing third in the final group phase. This is Australia’s sixth appearance in the World Cup where 2006 was their best year after reaching the second round.
The bookies are considering France as outright favorites to win this match with odds of 1.26. That is very low for us to back and as a result, we will combine France’s win with under 4.5 goals for higher winnings.
