France vs Brazil prediction

France put on a professional display to defeat Italy in their Women’s World Cup opener last weekend, keeping their Six Nations rivals point-less in a 24-0 win.

Co-head coaches Gaelle Mignot and David Ortiz have made sweeping changes for this contest against debutants Brazil, retaining just four players from last week’s triumph.

Although Brazil lost 66-6 to South Africa in their first ever World Cup match, there was still a sense of celebration, and they certainly didn’t disgrace themselves.

Having scored two penalties against the Springbok Women, Brazil’s next goal will be to score a try on the world stage, but that will not be easy against the fourth-ranked nation.

This is ultimately a mismatch in terms of ability and experience, with France expected to record a handsome victory in Exeter.

France vs Brazil tip: France to win with -73.5 handicap
