Before you lock in your Ireland vs. France picks or UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying predictions, you must see what soccer bettor Jon (Buckets) Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. Since the end of last year's World Cup he has been red-hot, going 186-172-8 for a profit of $2,369 for $100 bettors.

Eimer knows that Les Bleus have one of the best players in the world in Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe, now 24 years old, has led Ligue 1 in scoring in each of the last five seasons, scoring 135 goals over that time. Through three matches this season, he again leads the league in goals, with five.

But Eimer also has taken into account that the Irish played an excellent match against France the last time these teams met. In the first group meeting between the sides, in March, Ireland limited Les Bleus to only one good chance in the opening half before allowing a goal in the 50th minute. The Boys in Green nearly got an equalizer in the final minute, but France goalkeeper Mike Maignan made a spectacular save of a Nathan Collins header, securing a narrow 1-0 victory.

For Thursday, Eimer has taken an in-depth look at the France vs. Ireland matchup and locked in his picks. We can tell you that he is leaning Under 2.5 goals, but he has two other picks, including one that would pay plus-money. He also has a full breakdown of this match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
