France
WWWWWL
France will be wanting a better result here following the 0-2 WC loss in their previous game against Spain.
In that game, France had 49% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Spain had 10 shots 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 a losing effort in their last game against Argentina in WC action, England and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, England managed 36% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for England was Anthony Gordon (55'). For their opponents, Argentina got 15 shots 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.
👥
Head to head
Looking over their most recent head to head meetings dating back to 13/06/2004 shows us that France have won 4 of these & England 1, with the tally of draws being 1.
A combined sum of 18 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 10 from Les Bleus and 8 belonging to The Three Lions. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.
🔮
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.
