England should win with ease against weakened France (Getty images)

England host a severely weakened France in the Autumn Nations Cup final at Twickenham on Sunday. Fans will be returning to Twickenham for the first time this weekend and they should be there to witness a comfortable England win.

England Form

England are in stellar form having won the 2020 Six Nations and look set to claim the Autumn Nations Cup title as well.

Since their 24-17 defeat to France on the opening weekend of the Six Nations, England have not lost. They are seven matches unbeaten, all of which have been reasonably comfortable.

Last week England saw off a rejuvenated Wales side 23-14 in Wales. This week England will want to beat the only team to have beaten them this year.

England Team News

England head coach Eddie Jones has promised that the hosts will be going into this match at full strength despite France being severely weakened. Owen Farrell will in all likelihood continue at inside centre while Ben Youngs makes his 104th appearance at scrumhalf.

France Form

France have been brilliant in 2020 and finished the Six Nations as runners-up to England on points difference. The only defeat France faced during the competition came against Scotland at Murrayfield.

The French have been solid in the Autumn Nations Cup too, winning both their matches in the group stage. Their encounter against Fiji was called off due to COVID-19 infections.

Last week a largely weakened French side smashed Italy 36-5 at the Stade de France. France beat England in the opening Six Nations match this year but none of the players who featured for France in that match will play in this one.

France Team News

With French clubs limiting their players to only three internationals over the Autumn period, France have to field a line-up with minimal experience against England.

Up to 20 of Les Bleus’ frontline players are unavailable while others like Romain Ntamack are missing through injury.

England vs France Head to Head

England have won three of their last five matches against France. They last played in the 2020 Six Nations where France came out 24-17 winners at the Stade de France.

England vs France Odds

England are huge favourites at 1.071 with France priced at 8.00. A draw is paying 41.00.

The handicap for the match is set at 17 points with bet365.

England vs France Match Up

This is supposed to be the clash of two of the best teams in world rugby but the absence of so many big players for France means it is almost a foregone conclusion. France will still be competitive with a completely second string side but they will lack cohesion and quality the longer the game progresses.
