Read the newest France vs Australia odds on our page. Les Bleus and the Socceroos will open up their World Cup campaign in Group D with a match Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah.
The two sides have completely different ambitions as Didier Deschamps’ men are looking to repeat the success of the previous World Cup when they won the title. Meanwhile, Australia will look to make it out of the group for only the second time in their history.
Most experts agree that the France vs Australia betting odds leads towards the French team. But do the Aussies have the strength to make an upset? Let’s find out.
The France vs Australia odds go entirely in favour of France. Les Bleus are the two-time World Champions and are coming to the tournament and reigning title holders. They want to repeat the same success as four years ago and become only the third team that has managed to defend their title.
The names featuring in the squad are enough to warrant France’s favouritism in this matchup and the current France vs Australia World Cup 2022 odds.
Australia has now qualified five times in a row for the World Cup. But this is only their sixth appearance and the biggest success they managed was in 2006 when they reached the Round of 16 of the tournament. They are hoping to repeat the same success this year. But in a group that features both France and Denmark, it is going to be really hard.
Not only that, but the first step is always the hardest as they start their World Cup campaign against France. The odds for Australia to beat France are pretty high. But Socceroos are less likely to get away with a win here.
Most of the main sports betting providers have come up with their France vs Australia odds. Being that this is the premier Group D match, it would be interesting to see what they have to say as you combine them with our France vs Australia prediction.

France and Australia have only met five times so far. The edge goes to France as they have three wins as opposed to a single win for Australia. Their h2h record alone is enough to warrant current France vs Australia betting odds.
France and Australia also played in the Group Stage of the previous World Cup. France also had an advantage with the France vs Australia odds back then as well. Les Bleus managed to win thanks to a Paul Pogba effort in the 81st minute of the match that earned France all three points and a 2:1 victory.
Australia only managed to qualify for the World Cup after beating UAE in the playoff match. They don’t have a good record when it comes to facing teams from Europe which also goes against their France vs Australia odds.
All in all, we are expecting a hard match, similar to the one four years ago. But Didier Deschamps and his team know who they are facing now and are prepared to counter the tactics of Graham Arnold. Which we can also see based on the current France vs Australia World Cup 2022 odds.
