FRANCE GO IN FOR KYL

Bank on Bleus brothers

- CHARLIE McCANN BET OF THE WEEK

KYLIAN MBAPPE’S France are a shade of odds on (5-6) to beat Croatia (19-5) in 90 minutes in the 2018 World Cup Final in Moscow tomorrow.

It is hard to look beyond Les Bleus, who have made largely serene progress to the final.

Croatia did well to come from a goal down to beat a disappoint­ing England in midweek but I wonder if Luka Modric and Co can go again.

Midfielder Ivan Rakitic has played no less than 70 times already in 2017/18 – 55 for Barcelona and 15 for Croatia.

Brand Ambassador for BetVictor, Michael Owen, suggests the French will win 2-0 – 7-1 at BetVictor – while I would recommend France to win either 1-0 or 2-0 at 85-40.

The World Cup Final is the last chance customers will have to win The Million Pound Bet with BetVictor.

This campaign has run throughout the tournament and £1million will go to the customer with the bet with the highest winning odds – minimum stake £1.

The bar is currently set high at 17,042-1, which was a bet on the Uruguay and Portugal game, which included correctly predicting the number of corners each nation would receive. Spare a thought, however, for the customer who hit the bar on Tuesday when he would have had a winning bet of over

19,000-1 had Belgium or France forced one more corner. Ouch!

You do not have to shoot for The Million Pound Bet, remember, with the daily winner receiving £5,000.

There are now just two games to go, beginning with Belgium meeting England in the

3rd & 4th place play-off match today. The Red Devils are

11-10 to beat the Three Lions for the second time in the tournament, with Gareth Southgate’s side 85-40.

I am not convinced I believe this, “We are a young team and can only get better” guff we have been constantly fed since England were, ultimately, well beaten by Croatia.

Yes, we have done well but I was disappoint­ed with the Three Lions’ performanc­e in midweek.

I felt Gareth Southgate’s substituti­ons were poor and he should have brought Eric Dier on for either Jesse Lingard or Dele Alli at half-time and given Jordan Henderson some much-needed help.

To my mind, this was a possibly once-in-a-lifetime chance to become World Champions.

France to win either

1-0 or 2-0 ................ 85/40
