World Cup Betting Tips | England vs France Prediction
With only eight teams left in the competition, we take a closer look at the upcoming matchups. In what is likely to be the most interesting quarterfinals, England goes up against France on Saturday, 10th of December, at Al Bayt Stadium.
The long-standing rivalry between the two countries has not diminished. Neither will be satisfied with anything else but the championship. Unfortunately, one of them is going home after this game. Find out who is likely to do so with our England vs France prediction.
England vs France – Form and Team News
We have seen both teams perform incredibly well in the competition, but we have also seen some poor performances. The Three Lions won three and ended one match in a draw so far. On the other hand, Les Blues won three but lost one.
England were taken by surprise against the USA. The Three Lions just couldn’t get past the Yanks’ defence and gave their fans something to worry about for upcoming matches. But, in the next game, they cleared all suspicions of their capacity, as they beat Senegal 3:0 and scheduled a match against France.
On the other hand, France lost one game in the group stage. Other than wanting to rest their players, there is no other explanation for Les Blues’ loss against Tunisia. As the matchup has no impact on the overall result, and France advanced as the group winner, this result is not problematic.
Both teams have quite a few superstar players in their lineups. But, it seems that France were less lucky this year as they are missing several key players. Nonetheless, both teams have most of their main players ready for this matchup.

England vs France – Betting Tips
Finally, to conclude our England vs France prediction, we review the latest odds and provide top betting tips. At the moment, the Three Lions are the underdog, as the odds for their win stand at 3.05. On the other hand, for the current champions to win, the odds are at 2.40, and for a draw, at 3.25.
Despite the loss in their recent form, we would have to side with Les Blues in this matchup. The odds for France to advance into the next round stand at 1.70, and might be worth considering. England are known to choke in big tournaments, but even at full strength, against France, it will be hard.
However, when it comes to the overall score, a draw could be a valid bet. Furthermore, our assessment is that both teams will score at least one goal. To be precise, if we had to estimate the final score, we would say 2:2. The odds for the market stand at 14.00.
