Lebanon and France go head to head in Round 3 of the Rugby League World Cup at CommBank Stadium in Sydney on Sunday 1 November, with kick-off at 7:40pm NZDT. Our prediction and best bets follow.
The decline of French Rugby League in France has been on show for all to see with Les Chanticleers conceding 78 and 82 points in two very poor showings that has sapped any remnants of confidence from the French team. Against a Lebanon team known for its toughness, that bodes very poorly. The Cedars have significantly more NRL talent and were very good against Tonga despite being held scoreless. Lebanon have won the last four against France and look set for a monster win in this one against a France team that is just not up to it. Alex Conti is a noted tryscorer in the NSW Cup with 10 tries in 17 games, an excellent return for a young half. Tony Sukkar scored against Papua New Guinea.
Tips
Best: Lebanon -30.5 ($1.90)
Next: Lebanon -49.5 ($4.60)
Tryscorer: Alex Conti ($17 First, $2.45 Anytime)
SGM: Alex Conti Try/Tony Sukkar Try ($6.58)
