England vs France Prediction :
This may be the most difficult World Cup quarterfinal to predict because both France and England have performed admirably throughout the tournament and have not shown too many weaknesses. Naturally, the most important question is how England’s defense will handle the threat posed by Kylian Mbappe.
The same could be said for how France’s defense will handle players like Phil Foden and Harry Kane. Overall, we can anticipate a tense but entertaining game in which both teams score, and the odds of the match going all the way to the end are probably quite high.
Prediction: England 2-2 France (England to win on penalties)
England vs France Head to head :
England and France last played each other in a major tournament at Euro 2012, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Prior to that, France defeated England in the opening match of their 2004 Euro campaign. You have to go all the way back to the 1982 World Cup in order to locate England’s most recent competitive victory over France.
In a friendly match in the summer of 2017, these teams met for the first time. Despite falling behind and having Raphael Varane sent off, France won 3-2. England has scored 12 goals, making them the joint top scorers at this tournament, but Gareth Southgate’s team hasn’t relied on just one player to score.
England has had eight different players score goals, with Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka each scoring three. Kylian Mbappe, who was 19 when France won the 2018 World Cup in Russia, became only the second teenager, after Pele, to score in a World Cup final.
When France’s Olivier Giroud scored against Poland in the round of 16, he broke Thierry Henry’s record and became the country’s all-time leading goal scorer. Harry Kane of England has just two more goals to score to beat Wayne Rooney’s record of 53 in this match.
England vs France Betting tips :
