Wednesday’s Football Tips: France out to fire a warning to Euro 2024 rivals against minnows Luxembourg

Must read

FRANCE are one of the favourites for Euro 2024 and Les Bleus will be out to show why so many people fancy them when they take on Luxembourg in a friendly.

Most firms have Didier Deschamps’ men just behind England in the betting which seems a little bit off given the French have won two World Cups and two European Championships since the Three Lions last lifted a trophy.

France also boast arguably the world’s best player in Kylian Mbappe and the striker heads to the finals with peace of mind after finally sealing his dream move to Real Madrid.

Luxembourg have improved in the last few years but this should still be a fairly routine warm-up for Deschamps’ side and he’ll get looking for his forwards to grab a few goals.

France vs Luxembourg Top Betting Tips

France memorably beat Gibraltar 14-0 in Euro qualifying but their form has dipped since then, with a draw against Greece followed by a friendly loss to Germany.

They got back on track by beating Chile last time out but only by a 3-2 scoreline so Deschamps will be looking for a more comprehensive victory here.

It’s hard finding value but a bet builder that combines France to be winning at half-time and full-time with under five match goals pays 13/10 at Bet365.

The player markets offer most of the value, especially with Deschamps likely to experiment a little. PSG kid Bradley Barcola could be handed a debut either from the start or off the bench and he’s 6/4 for anytime scorer.

Denmark vs Sweden Top Tips

The most competitive friendly tonight should come in Copenhagen as Scandinavian rivals Denmark and Sweden face off.

While the Danes are gearing up for the Euros, their neighbours are licking their wounds after failing to qualify for the tournament for the first time since 1996.

That dismal campaign led to a change of manager and the Swedes controversially opted for a Dane to take charge as Jon Dahl Tomasson took the reins.

That adds extra spice to tonight’s friendly but Denmark look decent value at 17/20 for the home win. Combining that with BTTS boosts the odds to 11/4.

Two of Denmark’s last three games at home have hit double figures for corners so over nine flag kicks could be worth a punt tonight at 11/8.

Spain vs Andorra Top Tips

Spain are potential dark horses for glory in Germany this summer and tonight’s friendly with minnows Andorra gives Luis de la Fuente a chance to experiment a little.

Most of the Spanish forwards are odds-on for a goal but Bet365 price Athletic Bilbao winger Neco Williams at evens and that could be worth a punt as he should feature at some point.

Finding value is a tricky again but a bet builder that combines over four goals with Spain to win both halves pays 21/20 at Bet365.
