France had a good start to the competition, recording a 1-0 win over a star-studded German side on Tuesday night. An own goal from Mats Hummels separated the two teams.
The 2018 World Cup winners will hope to make it two wins out of two against Hungary. France suffered some heartbreak in the previous European championships and would eventually hope to make amends at the end of the competition.
Hungary, in contrast, started their campaign poorly, losing 3-0 to a talented Portuguese side. Cristiano Ronaldo, unsurprisingly, was heavily involved in the victory, scoring two goals. The Magyars will aim to cause an upset on Saturday.
France to win fairly easily
France could have scored more against Germany but will definitely take the win. Didier Deschamps’ side have quality all over the pitch which will cause huge problems for Hungary.
The trio of Benzema, Griezmann and Mbappe will be very important to any potential score line and Hungary would have to stop them in order to have any chance.
The game is likely to produce multiple goals. Investors may enjoy if they bet on a France win and over 2.5.
The odds
France are huge favorites to win the game, with their odds priced at 1.31 by Betway. Hungary, in comparison, have their odds pinned at 9.76. A draw has been priced at 5.20.
