LiontipsFrance - Northern Ireland: betting tip (cf 2.14) and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
France is approaching the upcoming game after a 1-2 home defeat to IvoryCoast. In that meeting, the tricolours did not play their best in the second half, when Didier Deschamps made a lot of substitutions. Plus, the PSG forwards were almost completely absent. The same Barkal appeared on the field only in the 89th minute. In general, it's obviously too early to talk about a serious decline in one game, because before that, taking into account all the tournaments, the French had not lost in nine matches in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ekitike is injured, Kamawinga, Kolo Mouani, Chevalier and Kalulu are out.
Interesting betting trends
- In four consecutive matches involving France, an exchange of goals was recorded.
- In three of the last four games, the French national team has not lost by fouls.
Approximate line–up: Samba - Gusteau, Upamecano, Konate, Digne – Zaire-Emery, Kante, Cherki – Dembele, Mbappe, Barkola.
Current form
Northern Ireland failed to qualify for the World Cup, which did not cause any surprise. At the moment, the national team is testing the youth with an eye to further official tournaments, primarily the League of Nations. Overall, Michael O'Neill's men have performed well in recent matches. During the previous training camp, they parted in peace with Wales (1:1), and on June 4 they beat Haiti (1:0). Earlier, Northern Ireland tried to qualify for the World Cup through play-offs, but lost to Italy in the semifinals (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
McNair, Saville, Peacock-Farrell and D. Charles are out of the application. Atchison will serve his suspension.
Interesting betting trends
- In eight of Northern Ireland's previous nine matches, fewer than four offsides were recorded.
- In five consecutive matches, the Northern Irishmen have not lost in the first half.
Approximate composition: P. Charles – Galbraith, Brown, McConville, Hume, Spencer – Smith, McCann, S. Charles, Price– Magennis.

Tip and bets
As the match against Ivory Coast showed, the French national team is still far from optimal playing conditions on the eve of the start of the World Cup. Of course, not all the main players were involved, but it is far from certain that PSG representatives will be ready to immediately show their maximum after an eventful season. Northern Ireland does not achieve high-profile successes, but at least it avoids failures. In the play-off match against Italy, the team held on for the first half, only conceding two goals after the break. In general, with a difference of more than two goals, Northern Ireland has not lost to anyone since March last year. We believe that the French are capable of achieving victory in the class today, but it is unlikely that it will be with a difference of more than one goal.
Our betting tip is Northern Ireland with a handicap (+2) for a coefficient of 2.14
Bet on the total
France has failed to score in four consecutive matches, and there are enough defensive problems. At the same time, there is no reason to doubt the attacking potential of the hosts, due to the individual skill of individual players, the French are able to open the defenses of any opponent. We expect the national teams to exchange goals scored today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 2.27
Betting on corners
Northern Ireland have lost on corners in five of the last six matches, it is unlikely that we will be able to improve this statistic today. France's players will be extremely motivated to rehabilitate themselves for their previous setback, will spend a lot of time at someone else's goal and, most likely, will win on corners with a decent margin.
Prediction – France wins on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.70
