Defending World Cup champion France is the betting favorite in this quarterfinals match posted at +140 with England at +210 and a draw at +210.
Little bit of a surprise that this match will be the first knockout phase one between these teams.
England: World Cup Form: WWDW
France: World Cup Form: WLWW
France
France looks to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to repeat as World Cup champions.
Les Bleus beat Poland 3-1 to advance to the quarters and in their four matches have nine goals and conceded four. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in Qatar giving up one goal in each of their four matches.
Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud have combined for eight of the nine goals for France and Mbappé leads the tournament with five goals. The French attack was on full dispay in the win over Poland where they had 16 shots on goal and eight of them were on target.
The midfield for the French may be a concern heading into the match with England. While they outclassed the Poles in the last match, they narrowly won time of possession and in their second group match facing Denmark they lost the time of possession.
France had a bit of an injury scare this week with Mbappé missing training on Tuesday with an ankle issue, but he was back on the training pitch on Wednesday. In an interesting note Les Bleus have won all nine of their World Cup matches when Mbappé is in the starting 11.
England
England is unbeaten in their four matches in Qatar and after a uninspired goalless draw against the USA the Three Lions have won their last two matches by a score of 3-0.
The Three Lions have scored 12 goals in the four matches and they have kept a clean sheet in the last three matches. Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka lead the team with three goals apiece and in their 3-0 win over Senegal in their last match 2018 Golden Boot winner Harry Kane scored his first goal of the tournament.
Jordan Henderson scored in the last match and he and Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice have been solid in the midfield. Rice missed training on Wednesday due to illness but should be in the starting 11 on Saturday.
The English defensee has also shined, as they not only have three clean sheets in a row but in each of those matches, they only gave up one goal on target.
Raheem Sterling flew back to England this last weekend and his availability for this match is in doubt. Ben White will be out dealing with personal issues and sub-Callum Wilson is dealing with a minor muscle injury.
While the Three Lions have beaten Les Bleus in the only two World Cup matches (1966 and1982), they only have one win against them in their last matches.
Free England vs. France Prediction: France ML +140
The Three Lions are flying high winning their last two matches 3-0 and they have not conceded a goal in their last three matches. Still, the wins were facing Senegal and Wales, how are not nearly as talented as defending champion France.
England does have a solid attack but so does France. Look for a close match here but for the French to pull out a close one winning 2-1 and getting back to the semifinals.
