France are good value to progress to the knockout stage tonight

France will book their place in the knockout stages with a win over a plucky Albania in Marseille tonight.

Albania came in to the tournament as 500/1 underdogs with some bookies but they proved they were no pushovers in their opening game against Switzerland, despite losing 1-0.

The Albanians spent most of that game with just ten men and showed how resilient they could be at the back, frustrating the Swiss throughout.

Didier Deschamps' France weren't entirely convincing in their own opener against Romania. They won 2-1, but have a late Dimitri Payet stunner to thank for the three points.

Despite a sluggish start, getting three points on the board right off the bat will have been a huge weight off the shoulders of the host nation and you can expect that they will play with much more confidence against Albania tonight.

We really like the look of the 4/6 on offer for France -1 handicap tonight. Les Bleus have one of the most exciting attacks in the tournament and you can expect them to shine tonight.

It will also be quite a feat if Albania can break down the French defence and score tonight and we think there's good value in France winning to nil, which is also 4/6.

In the goalscorer markets, NetBet are offering a massive 10/1 to new customers that Dimitri Payet scores tonight. Click on the banner below to sign up.
