France To Win

Despite the doubts around Mbappe, France still look the far better team. Their front line could consist of Thuram, Giroud, Dembele and Griezmann – not an easy task for any defence to handle. 

Meanwhile, the Dutch lack imagination up front with Memphis Depay their main outlet. The 30-year-old has struggled in recent years, securing just 14 starts in two seasons. 

France, joint favourites to win the tournament on the other hand look to have quality all over the pitch, despite missing Mbappe. A bet I’m happy to take on at 13/10.

Rabiot To Be Carded

The PSG midfielder has received the most cards in this French side over the past 30 games seeing a card in 25% of his games. I expect France to lead in this game and as a direct outcome of that, we should see France soak up pressure as they’ve been known to do. 

For a correlated outcome, we get a huge increase to our bet builder by adding a Rabiot card. He got himself in the book recently against higher level opposition in Germany and also picked up a card against Netherlands this year. 

Let’s hope he does the same again this time round.
