England v France Prediction – Preview
England
England made its way to the quarter-final by seeing off Senegal 3-0 in their round of 16 match at the Al Bayt Stadium. The Three Lions were simply unstoppable, breaking the deadlock on 39 minutes with Jude Bellingham setting up Jordan Henderson for the finish. Captain Harry Kane made it 2-0 before the break as he unleashed a stunner for his first goal of the tournament. Bukayo Saka secured the win on 57 minutes with his third goal in the competition, whilst Jordan Pickford kept his fourth clean sheet in 5 matches. The hardest test for Gareth Southgate‘s side comes in the form of holders France, who remain favourites to retain the Cup. With the tournament’s best performance on the line, could the Lions overcome the odds and secure their biggest win yet?
England have defeated France in their previous 2 meetings in the World Cup, beating them 2-0 in 1966 and 3-1 in 1982 (both in the group stage).
The Three Lions have been knocked out from 6 of their last 8 World Cup knockout games against fellow European sides.
France
France proved that they are the team to beat, as they survived an early scare from Australia to win 4-1 in the round of 16 at the Al Janoub. Craig Goodwin‘s goal on just 9 minutes offered a glimmer of hope for the underdogs. However, Les Bleus completely took over before the end of the half, with Adrien Rabiot heading home, and Rabiot himself setting up Olivier Giroud to take the lead. Kylian Mbappe gave the Frenchmen a two-goal cushion on 68 minutes after he headed in Ousmane Dembele‘s cross, and Mbappe himself set up Giroud for a header three minutes later, allowing the AC Milan star to tie Thierry Henry‘s goalscoring record for France. Didier Deschamps and his men now take on a dangerous England side who have a genuine chance of stealing their crown. Will Les Bleus withstand the pressure and go on to make history?
France have just lost 1 of their last 8 contests with England in all competitions (W5 D2): a 0-2 loss in a November 2015 friendly.
Les Bleus will be the first defending champions to be in a World Cup quarter-final since Brazil in 2006.

England v France Prediction – Final Thoughts
While France are the favourites in this matchup, there’s no discounting England’s awesome performance in the tournament, especially in the matter of scoring goals and tight defending.

And this works to The Three Lions’ advantage, as they bring the fight to the holders up until the very end. With that, let’s take a look at our prediction.
