France vs Italy predictions
As all rugby fans will know, France go into this game with Italy as the overwhelming favourites. In fact, bet365 are only offering odds of 1/250 on the French ending the match victorious.
So, it’s clear we’ll have to think of something other than betting on the result of the game, and our eye was immediately caught by the handicap market on offer at bet365. They’re giving the Italians a huge head-start of 35 points over their Gallic neighbours, which seems a little too generous, in our opinion.
The fact that this is the opening game could help Italy, as the French could be slightly rusty, plus the French have only won by this margin once in recent years – although that was in last year’s Six Nations tournament.
A bet on Italy to come out on top when given a 35 point head start looks great to us, and the odds of 11/10 look even better. If you’re looking to bet on France vs Italy, we’d definitely recommend this bet.

If you’re looking for another France vs Italy prediction, keep reading, as we’ve got another fantastic one below, with longer odds than the previous recommendation.
For this prediction, we’re going to take a look at the winning margin bet options. As you’d expect, they predict that France will win by a huge margin – the lowest odds are for 31-40 points – but we think the Italians could put up a little more resistance than this.
It’s still possible to get good odds and predict that France will win comfortably. Over at bet365, you’ll find superb odds on France to win by 11-20 points, but we thought that was a little too unrealistic.
Instead, the market of France to win by 21-30 points really caught our eye, with impressive odds of 7/2. If the French are under par or the Italians step up, this bet has a fantastic chance of being a winner.
