France vs Ireland Bet Builder Tips: France to break down stubborn Ireland

France to win

Les Bleus have one of the best squads in world football, and they will want to get qualified for Euro 2024 as soon as possible. They have a 100% record in this group and should logically have relatively few problems vs Ireland. It might be a case of breaking down a robust defence, especially in the first half, but France will likely find a way to get the three points, similar to how they beat Greece 1-0 here recently. This is probably the most straightforward aspect of the bet builder to hit, and a single on its own will hardly turn heads price-wise, but in a combination, then a French victory feels like a good addition.

Kylian Mbappé to score anytime

Since returning to the fold at PSG, the French National Team captain has scored five goals in three starts. He is starting to look sharp again, and this is an ideal opportunity to continue his momentum. Mbappé has scored 40 times in 70 international appearances and netted in 14 of his last 21. In this group, he has scored in all games apart from the trip to Ireland. We know he’s the main man, and he’ll want to show that. Ireland will have serious problems containing him, and the fact he’s on penalty duty makes him the ideal candidate to score anytime.

Under 4.5 Goals

Ireland have a reputation of being a robust and defensive side when playing international football. It is in their DNA to sit back and aim to frustrate the opposition. Manager Stephen Kenny has been using a 3-4-1-2 system in qualifying so far but will probably switch to a back five in something like a 5-3-2 or even 5-4-1. Since he took charge, 12 out of 15 Ireland away games have contained under 3.5 goals.

France, meanwhile, is not the sort of side that tends to rack up the score too much. They won 1-0 in the reverse fixture and only beat Greece here by the solitary goal (1-0) in their most recent qualifier. Even Gibraltar stayed relatively close to Les Bleus (0-3). A France win to nil with under 3.5 goals does look likely, and even the 2-1 score is covered with this part of the bet.
