France are amongst the frontrunners to win this tournament but they will need to be at their very best to compete with the likes of the USWNT and England in the latter stages. Jamaica are massive underdogs and need a miracle to take points from this one.
France vs Jamaica Betting Tips
- Jamaica handicap +4 (home -4) @ 5/4 Bet9ja
- Over 10.5 corners in the match @ 1/1 Bet9ja
- Wendie Renard to score anytime @ 2/1 Bet9ja
Jamaica to put their best foot forward
Herve Renard took charge of the French women’s team after a player mutiny in March led to the sacking of Corinne Diacre. Renard masterminded Saudi Arabia’s win over Argentina in the men’s World Cup last December. His presence on the touchline is somewhat of a coup for the French.
Jamaica are 43rd in the world rankings; 38 places below their opponents in this one. Their odds of 42/1 with Bet9ja illustrate just how tough of a task this will be.
The Jamaicans conceded 12 goals and scored just once in the last World Cup but the French handicap is slightly too high here. This bet landed in two of their three matches in 2019. In the first five matches of this tournament, the biggest winning margin has been three.
France have won just one of their last 10 matches by more than a three-goal margin. This was against Uruguay; who are ranked 21 places below Jamaica.
France vs Jamaica Bet 1: Jamaica handicap +4 (home -4) @ 5/4 Bet9ja
Plenty of corners as France pile on the pressure
The second of our Women’s World Cup tips is over 10.5 corners in the match.
Like Spain vs Costa Rica, this one is a total mismatch and the bookmaker’s odds are similar. Jamaica won’t have ambitions of attacking for long periods so instead will choose to soak up the pressure. There were 23 corners in Spain’s opening match and we could see a similar number in France vs Jamaica.
At the last World Cup, two of Jamaica’s three matches saw 11 corners or more. There were nine corners in the match that fell short of the required mark for this bet to land.
France’s last 8 matches have seen an average of 10.3 corners per game. However, I expect them to win more against Jamaica.
France vs Jamaica Bet 2: Over 10.5 corners in the match @ 1/1 Bet9ja
Wendie Renard’s aerial threat looms large
Our final prediction for the match is Wendie Renard to score at any time in the match.
The French attackers are very short prices in the scorers for this one. They are expected to run riot and as a result, several players are priced around 1/2 to score anytime. Instead, we will focus our attention elsewhere.
Wendie Renard is a centre-back with exceptional aerial ability and she will be a huge threat from set pieces. We have already discussed the potential for France corners so she should have plenty of opportunities to get on the end of a cross here.
Renard scored four goals in the last World Cup; more than any other French player. She played 21 matches for Lyon last season and scored seven goals.
