England vs France Six Nations prediction, odds and betting tips

England will welcome France to Twickenham this Saturday afternoon in one of the tournament’s toughest games to predict.

The Championship has not gone the way that either team would have liked so far, but Saturday’s game offers both teams a chance to reignite their campaign and finish on a high. Both sides will come into the encounter on the back of wins in the last round. Let’s take a look at who the bookies think will continue that winning streak.

England vs France Predictions

Le Crunch is always one of the most exciting matches at the Six Nations, and this year’s encounter promises to be another competitive showdown. Steve Borthwick’s men come into the match after successive victories against Italy and Wales and will want to build momentum heading into their showdown with Ireland on the final day. 

France bounced back from a defeat in Dublin by picking up a dramatic win against France, and they will know that winning this game will keep their faint chances of retaining their Championship alive. You can find them at evens with bet365.

While England will be confident following their last two games, France are a serious step up in quality from both Wales and Italy, and it feels as though Borthwick’s men haven’t found enough of a rhythm yet to take down such a strong side. They are available at 11/10. 

France may not have fired on all cylinders this Championship, but they showed against Scotland that they are still one of the best teams in the world on their day. Fabien Galthié’s team are still favourites with many bookies for the World Cup, and they will want to finish this tournament on a high to maintain that tag. 

England vs France Betting Tips 

Let’s take a look at some of the best bets to place on Saturday afternoon’s big game at Twickenham.

France -6 at 29/20 

England are coming into this game on the back of two consecutive victories, but don’t let this fool you. Borthwick’s men have beaten the two worst teams in the tournament and will come up against a much-tougher test against the French this weekend. England were humbled by Scotland on the opening day of this year’s Six Nations at Twickenham, which is something Les Bleus will be hoping to replicate. France will want to make some a statement ahead of this year’s World Cup, and Saturday is one of their last chances to do that. There is some value in getting them at with a -6 handicap at bet365 for 29/20.

Max Malins – Anytime Tryscorer at 2/1

Max Malins grabbed two tries for England in their opening game against Scotland and has been hungry to replicate that in the games since. The Saracens star will hope to benefit from Marcus Smith playing at fly-half. He offers some good value at 2/1 in the anytime tryscorer market and can be found at 12/1 with bet365 to be the first tryscorer if you fancy a more optimistic bet.

Jonathan Danty Anytime Tryscorer at 4/1

Those looking for a more speculative bet this weekend could take a look at Jonathan Danty in the anytime tryscorer market. The Stade Rochelais centre is making a welcome return from injury, and he will want to make an instant impact on the team. Danty will be one of the most powerful players on the pitch this weekend, and his presence has been missed in the French attack. At 4/1 in the anytime tryscorer market, he could be worth keeping an eye on.
