Defeat to Australia in their final warm up game was the first French loss since the Euro 2022 semi final. Overall, they have been in excellent form and, given a relatively weak looking group, they will be confident of cruising through to the knockout stages.

Experience will be the key ingredient for the French. The likes of Wendie Renard, Amandine Henry and Eugenie Le Sommer have a wealth of tournament experience and know exactly what is required on the big stage. Meanwhile, teenager Vicki Becho is hotly tipped to be one of the young stars of the tournament.

Jamaica made their World Cup bow in 2019, but bowed up with zero points and a goal difference of -11. They will be hoping to improve on that this time around, with a younger and more talented looking squad.

They qualified for the competition after finishing third in CONCACAF qualifying. Impressive wins over the likes of Costa Rica and Haiti, were coupled with big defeats to Canada and the US.  The formbook suggests that this is a huge step up for the Reggae Girlz and they will struggle to improve on their 2019 showing.

France and Jamaica have never played each other before. This will be Jamaica’s second World Cup campaign, whilst France have appeared in four of the last five tournaments. They reached the semi final in 2011, but were knocked out at the quarter final stage in 2015 and 2019.

As the two sides have never faced off before, our statistical highlights for the game focus on the recent form of the two sides. We aim to give you key information to help you formulate your sports betting prediction for the fixture.

The football betting odds for the game have France as the overwhelming favourites to claim three points. They are best priced at 1/33 to win, whereas most betting apps have the Jamaicans at 50/1 to pull off a shock. Even the draw is priced at a very long 12/1.

Finding value in lopsided fixtures can be tricky. Clearly, there’s not a lot of value in betting on a French victory, so we are recommending that you look at the handicap markets for the game.

You can 17/5 on France winning by more than five goals, but given this is the opening game of the competition, we think it might not be quite that one sided. Instead, take the 9/10 on France winning by at least four goals. Jamaica are likely to sit back and keep things tight for large chunks of the game, but France should make their superiority count in the latter stages.
