Wales vs France betting tips<\/p>\n
Bet365<\/strong><\/a>After a thrashing in their opening game by England, things don\u2019t get any easier for Wales on Sunday as they face the reigning Six Nations champions, France (3:10pm, BBC One & iPlayer).<\/p>\n Wales, who have finished bottom in the competition for the last two years, were beaten 48-7 at Twickenham last time out and have now won just two of their last 24 matches. <\/p>\n France, on the other hand, opened their campaign to retain the title with a 36-14 win over Ireland in Paris, with Louis Bielle-Biarrey scoring two tries as he bids to finish top tryscorer for the second year running. <\/p>\n Les Bleus are the odds-on favourites with betting sites<\/a> to retain their Six Nations title, although England aren\u2019t far behind, and Sunday\u2019s match looks a great opportunity for them to make it maximum points.<\/p>\n Wales vs France betting preview: Little hope for beleaguered Wales<\/p>\n France have won their last seven matches against Wales, dating back to the 2019 Rugby World Cup. When they met last year, France ran out 43-0 winners at the Stade de France, scoring seven tries. <\/p>\n Wales assistant coach Matt Sherratt described their performance against England as \u201cnot acceptable\u201d but the hope of them getting much more this weekend seems unlikely.<\/p>\n They have lost their last 12 Six Nations matches and conceded 248 points and 34 tries in Steve Tandy’s five games in charge.<\/p>\n He doubles up his role as head coach with that of defensive coach as well, which some might argue is not going too well.<\/p>\n The best odds you can get on France are 1\/33, so anyone keen to back Les Bleus is best suited looking at handicap markets on betting apps<\/a>, with a mark in the mid-30s eminently coverable for France.<\/p>\n Wales vs France prediction 1: France -34 handicap – 11\/10 <\/strong>Ladbrokes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wales vs France best bets: Bielle-Biarrey too hot to handle<\/p>\n Bielle-Biarrey scored two tries last time out against Ireland, and you wouldn\u2019t rule him out going one better this week in Cardiff.<\/p>\n The wing finished last year\u2019s Six Nations with eight tries from his five games, and he is the standout favourite in the Six Nations odds<\/a> to claim that honour once more.<\/p>\n He scored the first try of the tournament last week, but he is just 5\/16 to score at any time this weekend. However, he scored a brace against Wales in 2025 and after England wing Henry Arundell bagged a hat-trick against Wales last time out, Bielle-Biarrey may go over more than once.<\/p>\n Wales vs France prediction 2: Bielle-Biarrey to score two tries or more – 13\/10 <\/strong>Bet365<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wales vs France teams<\/p>\n Wales: <\/strong>Rees-Zammit; Mee, James, Hawkins, Adams; Edwards, T Williams; Carre, Lake (capt), Francis, Jenkins, Beard, Wainwright, Mann, Cracknell.<\/p>\n Replacements: Elias, Smith, Griffin, Carter, Plumtree, Hardy, J Evans, Grady.<\/p>\n France:<\/strong> Ramos; Attissogbe, Gailleton, Brau-Boirie, Bielle-Biarrey; Jalibert, Dupont (capt); Gros, Marchand, Aldegheri, Ollivon, Guillard, Cros, Jegou, Jelonch.<\/p>\n Replacements: Lamothe, Neti, Montagne, Flament, Meafou, Nouchi, Serin, Nene.<\/p>\n Free bets for the Six Nations<\/p>\n BetVictor are running a special Six Nations offer with bettors able to claim \u00a340 in free bets<\/a> when they wager \u00a310 or more on rugby.<\/p>\n The offer is only open to new customers who sign up, opt in to the rugby welcome offer and make a first deposit of \u00a310 or more.
