France vs Northern Ireland
France AH -2.5 @1.80
going aggressive for this step. france are one of the world cup favourites and they will be looking to make a statement after the embarrassing 2-1 loss to ivory coast in their first warm up. that kind of defeat usually triggers a big response from a side this loaded, especially at home in lille where they are unbeaten in their last five (four wins, one draw).
their attacking output is the key angle here. france had scored 2+ goals in 11 successive games before the ivory coast slip up, and they have hit 3+ goals in seven of their last 13 friendlies. eight of their last games also went over 2.5 total goals, so the firepower is there to win this by a wide margin.
northern ireland fielded their youngest side since world war 2 last time out with an average age of 22.1, and they have lost their last three matches against top ten uefa nations by a combined 9-2. against a france team in full motivated mode and chasing rhythm before the tournament, a three plus goal margin is on the table. at 1.80 the handicap is the smart angle for this step.
see y'all tomorrow for the next step.
