Can England win in Paris?

We've got the penultimate round of matches in this year's competition, and there is plenty to play for. The bookies have still got France as favourites to win this year, but that depends on what happens this Sunday when they entertain England in Paris.
If you're looking to try something a bit different than just backing a team to win, check out all the spread betting markets available from Sporting Index. Below are a couple of the most popular, along with an explanation of what it all means.

France v England 42 -45
How Does it Work?
Supremacy is a bet predicting a team's dominance over their opposition. Sporting Index predict the margin (in points) by which a team will beat their opponents. You decide whether their prediction is either too high or too low.
For the France v England game, Sporting Index is predicting a victory for France by 4 to 6 points, you have a choice to make:
a) Will France win by MORE than 6 points?
or
b) Will France win by FEWER than 4 points, or tie, or England will win?
Let's say that you think Les Bleus will beat England by more than 6 points and stake £5 per point on the outcome...
If France win 36 - 14, then France beat England by 22 points (36 minus 14). You were betting on France to beat England by at least 6 points for £5 per point. So you would have just won (22 - 6) x £5 = 16 x £5 = £80. Not bad.
However it could go the other way. Let's say France edge the match 16 - 14, a winning margin of 2 points. Because you bet `high' on France at 6 points, there is a short fall of 4 points (6 - 2 = 4). At a stake of £5 per point, this would result in a loss of (6 - 2) x £5 = 4 x £5 = £20.
