France
WWWWWL
France will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 0-2 WC loss in their previous game against Spain.
In that match, France managed 49% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Spain got 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Oyarzabal (22') and Porro (58') scored for Spain.
A common trait of more recent France games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
From their previous six clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have lost. Despite that, it remains to be seen whether that pattern will continue on in this game.
England
DWWWWL
After being beaten in their last game against Argentina in WC action, England and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, England managed 36% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for England was Anthony Gordon (55'). Argentina got 15 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Enzo Fernández (85') and Lautaro Martínez (90') scored for Argentina.
Thomas Tuchel's England have converted 10 times throughout their latest sextet of matches. The total of goals that have been scored against them during those same clashes adds up to 6.

Prediction
We’re of the opinion that France will, in all likelihood, stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
However, England could well struggle to score although we do think that they will probably end up seeing enough of the ball to score, too.
We’re predicting a 3-1 winning margin for France after 90 minutes.
