France vs Italy Prediction & Betting Tips - International | World Cup

Prediction published on 17/09/2015, 06:45 by

Back in march we saw France triumph a 0-29 win over Italy in the Six Nations and now the two teams meet again at Twickenham for their opening World Cup game in Pool D. After two months of intense preparation, a favourable opening match for the Blues to kick-start their world cup campaign. France’s last warm up matches saw a close win over Scotland (19-16) and securing a home win against England, so they might have strung together two wins but it clearly reveals that they have some way to go before even hoping to play for the title. For the Italians,the Azzurri's addresses the competition in a total blur. Beaten twice by Scotland before undergoing the law of Welsh, Parisse's side will have to find a miracle if they intend to shake up this French side and take this opportunity to prepare for their crucial match against Ireland. Still a little tender on the international stage, the Italians are expected to suffer facing one of their Europeans rivals...

France - Italy Key Points

Italy suffered at the hands of France’s starting XV 0-29 earlier this year in Rome.
Since that defeat, Squadra Azzura have sunk even deeper into doubt. There warm up matches saw 3 losses, of which one against the Scots resulting in 48-7.
The Blues produced a win over England (25-20) and Scotland (19-16). Everything might be not perfect, but a win is win at the end of the day.
The French team is clearly superior in all lines and will be keen to make an impression. This match against Italy will be their only real test before the clash against Ireland.
Italy were humiliated by Australia (32-6) and again Ireland (36-6) during the Pool stages in the 2011 World Cup. Squaddra’s side have never reached the finals and are often disappointed.

Our France vs Italy Prediction

Italy seem to have made some progress but 2015 has been absolutely catastrophic for this side. Despite a solid pack and some talented players, including Parisse or Masi, the Italians remain limited at the back and no real leader in the game and some very unreliable scorers. The French have already crushed Italy at home during the Six Nations 2015 tournament earlier this year (0-29) and may well inflict pain in this opening match RWC game. Beefy in all lines, the Blues are very likely to take this one by more than a 13 point difference.
