France and Scotland are set to face off in a friendly match on October 17th. The game is scheduled to kick off at 21:00 UK time. This encounter promises an exciting clash between two competitive teams. Below are predictions, betting options, odds, and statistics for the match.
France
The French national team, often called the “Three-coloured,” has already secured their place in the European Championship 2024, which will be hosted in Germany. They accomplished this feat ahead of schedule by winning all six of their qualification matches. During this impressive run, France scored thirteen goals and conceded only one.
With 18 points in their group, France has created a substantial gap between them and their competitors. They are six points ahead of second-placed Greece and nine points clear of third-placed Netherlands. As a result, the French national team has established an insurmountable lead over their rivals, allowing them to vie for the main European tournament of the quadrennium confidently.
In their last away match, France overcame the Netherlands with a score of 2-1. Before that, they secured victories at home against Ireland (2-0), Greece (1-0), and the Netherlands (4-0). France’s national side also notched away victories against Ireland (1-0) and Gibraltar (3-0).
During the last World Cup, France reached the final. The team navigated through the group stage with ease, subsequently defeating Poland (3-1), England (2-1), and Morocco (2-0) in the knockout rounds. However, they narrowly lost in the final to Argentina (3-3, decided by penalties with a score of 2-4).
Scotland
The Scottish national team continues its spirited campaign to secure a place at Euro 2024, and they have made significant progress. The “tartan army” boasts an impressive record of five wins and just one defeat from their six matches. This remarkable performance has positioned Scotland at the top of their group.
The Scottish national team has accumulated 15 points, giving them a three-point lead over second-placed Spain and a five-point advantage over third-placed Norway. These teams will vie for the coveted qualification spot at the European Championship. Scotland’s main squad has exhibited their attacking prowess by scoring twelve goals while conceding just three in their net.
In their most recent match, Scotland faced a 0-2 defeat against Spain, but they quickly rebounded with a series of victories over Cyprus (3-0 and 3-0), Georgia (2-0), and Norway (2-1). Additionally, last month, the “blue and white” engaged in a friendly match against England, where they suffered a 1-3 loss.
In 2022, Steve Clarke’s squad achieved considerable success in the UEFA Nations League. Competing in League B, they won their group and earned promotion to League A. Their group opponents included Ukraine, Ireland, and Armenia national teams.
Prediction and Odds
In this matchup, the favouritism is clearly with the hosts. The betting odds for a victory by France are at 1.26. A win by Scotland is rated at 12.00, while a draw is estimated at 6.20. Consider a wager on both teams scoring during the game.
Another betting option is to bet that if Scotland loses, it will be by no more than one goal.
