France will look to maintain their perfect winning record against Fiji when the sides meet in the Nations Championship in Lyon on Saturday night.
The Flying Fijians don’t come into this game at the Groupama Stadium in the greatest form, having won just three of their last nine Test matches.
Coming up against a star-studded French side, who will be marshalled by Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack in the half-backs, it could be a long night in Lyon for the Pacific Islanders.
France v Fiji Tips Summary
Best Bet - France -24.5 handicap @ 10/11
Alternative Bet - Over 64.5 total points @ 10/11
Bet Builder - Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Theo Attissogbe & Antoine Dupont anytime tryscorers @ 10/3
France v Fiji Prediction
Best Bet: France -24.5 handicap @ 10/11
The return of Dupont and Ntamack to the French half-back pairing is a major boost for Les Bleus, with the Toulouse teammates capable of causing all sorts of problems for the Fijian defence this weekend after their respective injury setbacks.
France tend to raise their game under the lights and, with so much quality available across the squad, it is difficult to envisage the hosts easing off the accelerator in Lyon.
Fiji have plenty of attacking threats of their own and the Pacific Islanders should be capable of making their opportunities count on the tryscoring front.
Nevertheless, France possess the firepower to run up a big total over the course of the 80 minutes, making the hosts worth backing to cover the -24.5 handicap on Saturday.
Alternative Bet: Over 64.5 total points @ 10/11
Given the attacking talent on show in this game, going for over 64.5 total points gets the thumbs up.
Tests involving France are rarely dull affairs and the added spark of a powerful Fijian side under head coach Jake White adds further appeal.
Looking back on France’s last five games, an average total of 75 points per match were scored in that spell.
With that in mind and with good conditions for running rugby expected in Lyon on Saturday night, go for the over on 64.5 total points.
