The World Cup is well and truly underway now and we have got a great matchup to look forward to on Tuesday evening. France must take on Senegal in what should be full of excitement and hopefully goals.
The French are one of the big favourites to win the whole tournament, but they won’t get things their own way in this game. Senegal had a great run in the African Cup of Nations and will be expecting to have a good World Cup as well.
Here are our top three football betting tips and the best free bet offers ahead of Tuesday evening's clash at MetLife Stadium.
France vs Senegal Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of tonight's game.
Tip 1: France to win & both teams to score
The French were one of the big favourites to win the tournament before a ball was kicked and it’s easy to understand why. Les Bleus went undefeated in their qualifying campaign with five wins and one draw.
They also had some impressive victories in the last few months, with wins away to Brazil and Columbia. They did lose against the Ivory Coast in the build up to this World Cup, but they should perform well in this tournament.
Their first opponents will see them taking on a Senegal team who have had an eventful year. They qualified for the World Cup easily in 2025 with four victories but 2026 has already seen them have a great run to the final of the African Cup of Nations.
They won the final 1-0 but were stripped of the title after most of the team left the field in protest, causing a 20-minute delay. Since then, they have had mixed results with two wins, a draw and a loss in friendlies going into this tournament.
Expect an entertaining affair but for the French to ultimately end up on top.
Tip 2: Pape Gueye to be shown a card
Pape Gueye was an ever present during the African Cup of Nations starting six of the seven games that Senegal played. During them games he committed 13 fouls and was fouled 13 times as well.
He was shown a card twice in that tournament and he is likely to commit a few fouls in this game. Expect the French attack to run at the Senegalese a lot and cause Gueye to make a mistake or two.
Tip 3: Sadio Mane 1+ shot on target, Michael Olise to score & Pape Gueye to be shown a card
Sadio Mane might be 34 now but he is still a good goal scorer and will want to make an impact in possibly his last World Cup. He has had 61 shots with 30 of them hitting the target for Al Nassr this season and he should get a chance or two in this game.
Michael Olise has had a good season for Bayern Munich scoring 15 goals and 19 assists. He also has got some good recent form scoring a hat-trick for France last week against Northern Ireland in a warmup game.
Finally add Pape Gueye to be shown a card. The Villareal midfielder saw eight yellow cards last season in La Liga along with another three yellows in the Champions League.
