The tenth edition of the Women’s Rugby World Cup is approaching its final stage. The finals will be held on Saturday, 27 September at the Twickenham Stadium in London but before that there are two very important matches to be held, namely, the two semifinal games. The first one, between Canada and the current title holders New Zealand, will take place on Friday, 19 September, while the second one will be held a day later, on Saturday, 20 September, between France and England.
The winner of this semifinals match will meet the winner of the match between New Zealand and Canada to play for the title of World Cup champions. Losers of both semifinal games will play for the bronze.
France vs England – Betting Odds
An event that takes place only once every four years is bound to attract the attention of fans and bookmakers alike, especially when it is an event as grand as the World Cup. Many major bookmaking platforms that include rugby on their menu offer betting odds for all the popular rugby betting markets for this championship.
Below we will take a look at some of the most popular markets and present the current France vs England betting odds 7bet has to offer on these markets.
Match Winner Odds
At 7bet, we currently offer the following France vs England odds for the match winner market:
| France (1) | Draw (x) | England (2) |
| 10/1 | 35/1 | 1/33 |
No matter which sport you are betting on, this bet doesn’t change its essence and remains one of the most straightforward betting markets. When placing your wager on the match winner bet, you are trying to predict which player or team will win the game. If the side you have chosen will indeed come in victorious, your bet will bring you a payout based on the odds and the amount of your stake.
As rugby is a team sport with three possible outcomes, you can place your wager on one of the options: the home team (1) wins, the away team (2) wins, or the match ends in a draw (x).
However, as straightforward as this bet might be, it still requires you to know the competing teams, their current physical form, squad composition, recent injuries, as well as their dynamics when playing against each other.
Handicap Betting Odds
In most sports, and rugby is no exception, handicap betting is considered an advanced betting market. The concept itself might take some time to wrap your head around, but more importantly, you need to have enough experience being exposed to the world of sports and punting to make informed decisions in handicap betting. That is why it is recommended for seasoned bettors.
This betting market is usually employed when one side of the game has a clear advantage, making the betting process rather pointless. So to avoid this, handicap betting imposes specific conditions the winner has to fulfill for their win to count towards your bet.
To put it simply, you don’t just wager on who will win, but rather on how they will win the game. Let’s say, if you bet that Team A will win with a -9 handicap, it means their final score has to be at least 9 points higher than that of their opponents. If they win with a lower difference, for them it is still a win, but your bet will lose.
In handicap betting, you are also allowed to bet on the losing team. The same principle is at work here. You don’t just predict which team will lose the match, but specify the goal difference they have to lose with. For example, if you bet that Team B will lose with a +9 handicap, the difference in the final score can’t be higher than 9 points for them, otherwise your bet loses too.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following handicap betting odds on the France vs England match:
| France +21.5 | England -21.5 |
| 17/20 | 4/5 |
Other popular handicap lines include:
| France 34 – 0 | 1/5 | Draw 34 – 0 | 25/1 | England 34 – 0 | 11/4 |
| France 28 – 0 | 8/17 | Draw 28 – 0 | 25/1 | England 28 – 0 | 11/8 |
| France 22 – 0 | 17/20 | Draw 22 – 0 | 16/1 | England 22 – 0 | 17/20 |
| France 16 – 0 | 15/11 | Draw 16 – 0 | 30/1 | England 16 – 0 | 6/13 |
| France 10 – 0 | 13/5 | Draw 10 – 0 | 20/1 | England 10 – 0 | 3/13 |
Outright Winner Odds
One might say that this betting market is the same as the match winner but on a bigger scale. You are still betting on the winner, but this time it is the winner of the entire tournament. Very often, this betting market is one of the first to open when a championship is about to start.
To make an informed decision on this betting market you need to have a deeper knowledge on not just two but all the teams competing in the tournament, their potential, history of playing in the tournament, and current physical form, among other things.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following France vs England odds for outright winner:
| Team | Odds |
| England | 1/4 |
| New Zealand | 6/1 |
| Canada | 7/1 |
| France | 25/1 |
Double Chance Odds
So we have covered the match winner odds, how is this betting market any different? Well, the idea behind your bet is pretty much the same. You are trying to predict the outcome of the match. And yet, there is one big difference when you are placing a wager on the double chance odds.
This betting market provides you with a level of safeguard if you are betting on the winner of the match. Instead of betting on one outcome, you place your wager on two out of the possible three final results. Your options in this case are:
- Either the home team wins or the match ends in a draw (1x)
- Either the home team or the away team wins (12)
- Either the away team wins or the match ends in a draw (x2)
Now whichever of the two outcomes that you bet on happens to come true, your bet will win. This bet lowers the risk, as now only one outcome will result in you losing your bet. However, you should be aware that the odds and potential payouts will also go down on this betting market.
The best use of the double chance odds is when you have two well balanced teams on the field that both have equal chances to win, making it more difficult to predict the final outcome.
At 7bet, we currently don’t offer the double chance betting odds on the France vs England match, as the match has a clear favourite.
Winning Margin Odds
This betting market also works the best in cases when a rugby match is heavily unbalanced in favour of one of the playing teams. Here you bet on one of the teams that you think has more chances to win and specify a point range by which they are likely to win.
Let’s illustrate it with an example. If you bet that Team A will win with a 8-14 winning margin, and they end up winning with a score of 21 – 10, your bet wins because the winning margin here is 11 (i.e. within your specified range).
At 7bet, we currently don’t offer the winning margin betting odds on the France vs England match.
