Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Draw – 3.52
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Denmark +1.5 Goals Handicap – 1.31
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: France Win or Draw – 1.21
Draw
Both France and Denmark have a 50% chance of winning this match after they both won five of their last ten fixtures. As a result, and according to the bookie’s statistics, there is a 40% chance that this match will end in a draw.
Denmark +1.5 Goals Handicap
Denmark have not lost by two or more goals in the eight matches prior to their clash with France on Saturday. Moreover, the Danish side covered the +1.5 goals handicap in the last four meetings with France in all competitions.
France Win or Draw
Despite losing to Denmark in their last two meetings, the bookmakers are still favoring France to win and consequently, the double chance is also in favor of the reigning champions.
France
France are off to a flying start in their defense of the World Cup title they won four years ago in Russia. Les Bleus brushed aside Australia by 4-1 despite the Aussies scoring first as Deschaps’ men completely dominated the match after the early goal they conceded.
The two teams had met in 2018 and France came on top 2-1 but this time it was a much better performance by Les Bleus despite many absents through injury. Deschamps would like to secure the second-round ticket with a match to spare by beating Denmark something they haven’t done in three games.
Denmark
Denmark had one of the best qualification campaigns for Qatar 2022 after winning nine of their ten games. Moreover, the Red and Whites beat France home and away in this year’s UEFA Nations League with a clean sheet in the latest meeting.
Nonetheless, coach Kasper Hjulmand’s team didn’t look very convincing in their first match with Tunisia drawing 0-0. Despite enjoying 61% of ball possession in the game, Denmark managed just four shots on goal by hitting the back of the net. On the positive side though, this is Denmark’s third clean sheet in four games.
This will be a tough match for both sides as they know each other very well after playing each other twice in the last five months. France obviously looked better in their opening game but it was against a weak Australian side. We think a France win or draw is the most likely outcome for this match.
The combo bet of a draw or Denmark to win combined with over 1.5 goals has odds of 2.99 at 1XBet. There is a high probability for this bet to succeed as a draw has a 40% chance and there is an 85% chance that this match will produce over 1.5 goals.
