Les Bleus entered the tournament as favourites and remain the only undefeated team left going into the third round of matches.

Fabian Galthie's men racked up a vital victory over Ireland last time out and are in pole position to claim the title, but three challenges remain in the shape of Scotland, Wales and England.

However, Scotland won't roll over as underdogs on home soil going into this one. They will be determined to produce the kind of upset display they've grown accustomed to in recent times.

Gregor Townsend's men arrived in the tournament as dark horses and boosted their credentials with a second victory over England in back-to-back tournaments, though they were narrowly defeated by Wales in Cardiff.

Scotland v France prediction

Both teams have been here before. Scotland, with plenty of talented stars among their ranks, just unable to string together consistent results to really threaten for the title.

France, with the odds tilted in their favour and a squad to back-up their credentials as favourites.

This is far from a dead-cert outcome. Scotland have proven they are capable of mixing it with the very elite teams in world rugby, while France have bottled big games in the past. On paper though, the visitors should claim a very close victory.

Scotland v France prediction: France win
