France has had two successful international friendly matches against Chile and Luxembourg. The upcoming encounter with the Canadian national team will be the final rehearsal for Les Bleus before entering the Euro 2024 finals. With an unimpressive record, the “land of maple leaves” seems to be no match for the French national team in the upcoming clash.
First half odds for France vs Canada
In the first friendly match, France suffered a 0-2 defeat against Germany, raising doubts about their form before Euro 2024. However, the French national team immediately reassured the public with 3-2 and 3-0 victories against Chile and Luxembourg, respectively. In the match against Luxembourg, Kylian Mbappe played a crucial role, providing assists for Randal Kolo Muani and Jonathan Clauss to score the first two goals. He then scored himself, securing the victory and keeping a clean sheet for the team.
With a strong lineup, France pushed forward to seek goals in the first 45 minutes of the match. If there are concerns about defender Dayot Upamecano’s injury preventing him from participating in the match, rest assured that William Saliba is ready to step in. The team has been well-prepared and can smoothly adapt to any player changes without hindrance.
Looking at Canada, their results are not promising compared to France. They suffered comprehensive defeats in both friendly matches against Japan and the Netherlands. The “orange tornado” caused Canada to concede 4 goals without scoring any. Every 4 minutes, the Netherlands threatened Canada’s goal.
As we know, the Netherlands is France’s opponent in Group D of Euro 2024. Les Bleus will overwhelm Canada even more than their upcoming opponent, the Netherlands, has done.
- Prediction for first half score: France 2-0 Canada.
- Asian handicap for first half: Choose France (-0.75) HT.
- Over/under odds for first half: Choose over (1.5) HT.
Full match odds for France vs Canada
In the last 5 encounters, France has only lost 1, drawn 1, and won 3 matches. They scored 22 goals and conceded 6. In their two most recent matches, they scored 3 goals each. As this is the final friendly match before France enters this year’s Euro finals, coach Didier Deschamps allows the stars to showcase their abilities. Therefore, the number of goals in the upcoming match will not stop at 4, as the Netherlands defeated Canada.
On the other hand, Canada has won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 matches. They scored 7 goals but conceded 12. The disastrous defeat against the Netherlands revealed Canada’s extremely poor defensive capabilities. Their scattered attacking lineup caused them to struggle to approach the goal and convert opportunities into goals.
France and Canada have only faced each other once in a historic match at the 1986 World Cup. “Les Bleus” secured a 1-0 victory against the “maple leaf team.” In the upcoming encounter, France simply needs to maintain their current form to dominate Canada.

- Asian handicap for full match: Choose France (-2.0) FT.
- Over/under odds for full match: Choose over (3.25) FT.
