Watch and win as France bid to stop slide
The French Football Federation's investigation into their national team's failure at the World Cup clearly didn't draw the right conclusions about what the problems were as the first two matches of the new era have ended in surprise reverses away to Norway and at home to Belarus.
It leaves the Group D favourites in an awkward position because defeat away to Bosnia tonight will leave them six points off the pace and to add further complication to an already difficult trip they are without strikers Louis Saha, Loic Remy and Guillaume Hoarau, who have all picked up injuries. No wonder French sports paper L'Equipe claim they are willing to settle for a point.
The hosts are just about outsiders at [2.88] but having been beaten in only one home group game in World Cup qualifying, and started their bid to reach Euro 2012 with a dominant 3-0 win in Luxembourg, they have to be fancied to hand Les Bleus their fifth straight loss.
France have pathetically struck just two times in their last six matches, however Bosnia's appear to come with a goal guarantee - 4.17 per home tie last time round to be precise - so the [2.34] on over 2.5 goals presents a huge opportunity. Odds of [34.0] on 3-1 Bosnia should also attract ambitious punters.
This intriguing encounter, which kicks off at 8pm, is one of eight live for Betfair customers to watch through Betfair Live Video this evening, with the likes of Sweden, Portugal and Croatia also available to check out. Click here to read more about some of today's games.
