France Women vs Brazil Women Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

France eased through Group A with three wins but face a tricky last 16 test in the form of Brazil.

The South Americans came up short against Australia but their win over eventual group winners Italy on matchday three was encouraging.

Latest odds

The hosts were well-fancied at the start of the tournament although they've slipped well behind the USA (7/4) in the outright betting at 4/1 (5.0).

Nevertheless, France are firm favourites to win this game, priced at just 1/3 (1.33) with bet365.

Brazil celebrate Marta goal vs ItalyGetty

Brazil can be backed at 8/1 (9.0) with the same firm who are 4/1 (5.0) on the pair ending all square after 90 minutes.

Team News

Forward Andressa Alves picked up a thigh injury in training and will miss the rest of the competition.

Doubts over Marta's fitness appear to have faded after the 33-year-old played 84 minutes and scored the winning goal against Italy.

Wendie Renard's penalty against Nigeria took the defender's World Cup tally to three goals.

Preview

While their initial 4-0 thumping of South Korea in the opening game was impressive, France's narrow wins over Norway and Nigeria were more laboured, especially the latter.

Corinne Diacre made plenty of changes for that match but backing Les Bleues at the current odds makes little appeal.

Instead, it's worth looking to when these teams have done most of their best work. So far, much of the goalmouth action involving these sides has taken place in the second 45 minutes of matches.

Predictions

France's last four goals have come after the half-time break and this game could be set for more late drama.

Brazil's three World Cup matches have all seen the second half be the highest scoring and a repeat here is Evens (2.0) with bet365.

The three friendlies France played prior to the tournament getting underway all saw this wager land and it appeals once more with the knockout stages getting underway.
