🧐 France vs Ireland betting preview

Ireland have it all to do when they travel to Paris this week to take on France.

In truth, the June defeat to Greece all-but ended their hopes of qualification for the tournament next summer.

Especially when you consider the Dutch visit the Aviva later in the week, too.

Stephen Kenny is under immense pressure following the failed campaign and two heavy defeats could be the final nudge needed for the Football Association of Ireland to consider a replacement.

Their sole win came in a home triumph over Gibraltar, though they did put a plucky display against the French earlier in qualifying in a 1-0 loss.

France sit atop the group having won all four games to date and are - understandably - a very short price to make it five from five.

Incredibly, they're yet to concede in the competition, further heightening the near-impossible task the Irish have here.

Kenny revealed they've been working on a plan to stop Kylian Mbappe. It needs to be one heck of a plan....

France vs Ireland best bets

Take a look at these tips:

France (-2) to win (Spreadex)

France are yet to concede in qualifying and will be a short price to record another shut-out here.

Their firepower in attack is envious and they are likely to cause plenty of problems.

Ireland have only conceded three goals from their three games which offers some hope. Though that could be extinguished fairly quickly.

Evan Ferguson 1+ shot on target (bet365)

The golden boy shone in the Premier League last weekend and Ireland need him to step up here.

The teenager's hat trick again highlighted his goal scoring abilities but it was his hold-up and linking which was a particular stand out.

Will find it tough at times up there on his own but can show the inidividual skill required to at least test the keeper once.

France over 7 corners (bet365)

Their attacking options are ridiculous and Ireland need to stand up and be counted.

France managed 11 corners against Gibraltar recently and could rack up a few here.
