France vs Australia Prediction | Game Statistics & Analysis
The last match of day 3, which will be part of the biggest international competition in the world, brings us a 90-minute stunner between France and Australia. As they won this tournament four years ago, the Frenchmen will enter this match with a lot of confidence.
Yet, it takes more than tradition to win a game. This is why our France vs Australia prediction dives deeper and analyses this match in terms of some unexpected results.
France vs Australia – Form and Team News
Although a bit surprising, the French team did not show brilliance in their latest matches. What is more, Les Bleus won only one game during the period of the last six games. Specifically, they got the better of Austria (2:0).
But, this is not even close to the form that we can call good, as France lost three, and tied the remaining two matches. In all six games, Les Bleus scored only five goals, which is less than a goal per match.
Australia, the team that will be on the other side of the court, went through the qualifiers with a number of wins, draws, and losses. The Socceroos stopped their wayward course in the last two matches of the qualifiers, as they won both of them.
Generally, Australia scored an average of 1.40 goals per game, considering the last five matches. In contrast, the same number of games shows the average rate of 0.80 goals conceded for this team. The Socceroos’ win-loss ratio is 60-20 in the form of percentages.
