It’s been a Six Nations campaign that neither Wales nor France will want to look fondly back on and each side will be aiming to grab a vital win in Cardiff on Sunday.

Wales are still without a win in the championship but their young squad have performed admirably in defeat while France arrive in Cardiff having held on for a draw against Italy in Lille two weeks ago.

Les Bleus have had the upper hand in this clash in recent years but Wales will fancy their chances of upsetting the odds and grabbing a win in front of a packed home crowd in the Principality Stadium.

Wales vs France Betting Tips

Here is our selection for Sunday’s big game at the Principality Stadium.

Wales to beat France

France have lacked their usual magic in the Six Nations - their attacking play hasn’t been as free-flowing, and they’ve struggled to create clear opportunities, highlighting how much they miss Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack.

With just six points from two games, they could be considered fortunate - their win over Scotland was controversial - a late Scottish try was ruled out in a call favouring Les Bleus. They then needed some luck to escape with a draw against Italy in Lille two weeks ago.

Coach Fabian Galthie has rolled the dice for this match, naming three debutants in his XV with another on the bench, and they could come up just short against a Welsh side that have shown signs that they are close to putting together a big performance.

Welsh coach Warren Gatland has also shaken things up, announcing some surprising changes to the starting lineup, including veterans George North and Nick Tompkins being replaced by the pairing of Joe Roberts and Owen Watkin.

Meanwhile, 21-year-old captain Dafydd Jenkins starts at blindside flanker - a position he could thrive in.

At rewarding odds, take Wales to get their first win of the 2024 Six Nations.
