07-09-23 Daily Football Predictions: France vs Republic of Ireland

Betting Tips

When France hosts the Republic of Ireland at Parc des Princes on Thursday evening, they will be hoping to keep their perfect record in Group B of the Euro 2024 qualification.

The Boys in Green will be out for vengeance against Les Blues after losing the first match in March by a razor-thin score of 1-0 in Dublin thanks to an incredible goal from Benjamin Pavard.

France vs Republic of Ireland

France is one of the world’s top teams, as we are all aware. While they are assembling the team that should once again control the world, they fell to Argentina in the World Cup final. France has won 12 points through four rounds of the EURO 2024 qualifying matches, which puts them very close to securing a spot in the competition. In the previous game, France defeated Greece 1-0 at home.

Although the outcome is not stunning, France had numerous solid opportunities to score, therefore they likely merited a larger margin of victory. However, another three points were the most crucial, and France will feel quite confident going into its matchup with Ireland.

Ireland hasn’t participated in a significant match since 2016. Because they only earned three points from their first three games, Ireland is unlikely to participate in the EURO the following year. Ireland lost its first two games but defeated Gibraltar 3-0 in their prior matchup at home. The majority of people anticipated a victory like that over the group’s weakest squad.

France has not given up a goal while winning all four games, and this trend may continue this week. Ireland has a reputation for playing a reasonably tight defense, but France might try to start the new season off in style, and a rout could be in the works.

Verdict

We must support France over this Irish team, which has only won once in their last five road games, because of their winning record and strong goal-scoring performance. Another reason we’re backing France to win here is the extraordinary, superior performance they’ve shown in their head-to-head matches.

Kylian Mbappe’s last-second error cost France the World Cup championship in December, but the captain of Les Bleus can lead his team to a fifth straight victory when they take on Ireland on Thursday.

Although France’s talisman slipped up late in Qatar, his importance to the competition cannot be overstated. The now 24-year-old topped the scoring statistics with eight goals after scoring a hat-trick in the championship game.

Since then, he hasn’t slowed down either, scoring four goals in four appearances for his country and exploding into the scene for his new club. He has five goals in three games for PSG this season and appears to be a decent price to add to his 40 goals for his country on Thursday at the Parc des Princes.
