Reasons for France vs Senegal predictions
Here are our reasons for our France vs Senegal prediction and betting tips.
France are understandably the favourites to win this tie at 1.50 with bet365. It will be Senegal who will have to bring the fight at 7.70 with bet365.
The France enter the tournament as favourites due to their strong squad, tournament experience and home advantage. The France have won four of the last five matches this year. Most Group I previews rank the French as favourites to win the group and beat Senegal.
France still have arguably the deepest attacking pool in the tournament, with Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Michael Olise all in strong form. Reuters noted France’s camp is backing Mbappé heavily despite outside criticism.
France looked sharp in warm-ups, including a 3–1 win against Northern Ireland where Olise hit a hat-trick
Senegal are disciplined, athletic, and dangerous in transitions. They also carry psychological confidence because they famously beat France in the 2002 World Cup opener.
Senegal will likely sit compact and press in bursts, which could frustrate France early. But over 90 minutes, France’s technical edge should create enough chances.
Can Kylian Mbappé inspire the France to a winning start? The winger is among the most likely players to make a decisive impact in Amsterdam. Kylian Mbappé has been handed odds of 4.00 with bet365 to score the first goal.
