Euro 2016 Outright Tips: France
Everything is in place for the hosts to win a third major title on their own soil.
Having already tipped Italy as an each-way prospect at a pretty big price (18/1), our other outright selection will be to take France on the nose at 3/1 with Skybet who will provide a £3 free bet every time Les Bleus win a match.
Nobody looks in better shape than Deschamps’s boys even before you factor in home advantage. The midfield already looked decent with Pogba, Matuidi and Cabaye before Kante and Payet emerged as major Premier League stars in 2015-16.
The options up front are the envy of the rest as well. Griezmann is grabbing headlines following his wonderful campaign at Atletico but Giroud is in prolific form again while Martial provides both width and youthful exuberance.
The defence is the only area of mild concern but the likes of Evra, Sagna and Koscielny have a wealth of experience while Lloris remains one of the best keepers in the world.
We might look back and say that Germany and Spain were both past their peak while the likes of Belgium and England are a work-in-progress. If so, then France should be more overwhelming favourites given their pedigree on home soil. Place a minimum bet of £10 on France to win at 3/1 with Skybet and get a £3 free bet every time they win a match during the tournament.
