We disagree with what online bookies with betting bonuses try to portray in their odds, which is that France is the heavy favorite in the match.

Meeting statistics

Senegal was defeated 3-0 by England, who overcame a shaky start to go to the quarter-finals. In the end, France defeated Poland 3-1 to set up the first-ever knockout meeting between Gareth Southgate’s team and France. Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud each scored goals to advance France to the World Cup’s top 8.

The current form of England

With two games ending in draws, England has won three of their last five games. The overall goal score is 15–5. In three of those five games, England didn’t allow a single goal to be scored. On average, the first goal was scored in the 49th minute by the ‘Three Lions’, while the first goal was typically given up in the 59th. England’s WC opponents have hidden recurring flaws in recent performances.

England has been the most effective attacking team in the World Cup, scoring 3 goals on average with an average xG of 2 goals in the three games. With a shooting accuracy of 45%, England has been the most efficient team with a goal scored over two goals.

Since its dismal showing in the Nations League, England’s defense has substantially improved. With just two goals allowed total during the World Cup and an average of 0.50 goals allowed per game, England has performed defensively. Only 3.7 of the 7.2 shots that England has allowed each game during the World Cup have been on target.

The current form of France

In their last five tournament games, France has won three of them. They fielded a lesser team for the last group-stage game and lost to Tunisia. The overall 5-game goal tally is 9-6. In these 5 games, the average first goal of the ‘Les Bleus’ was scored in the 44th minute and the average first goal was given up in the 52nd minute. France’s recent struggles have largely been caused by the forward attack’s patchy performances and a fairly unexceptional defense lineup. With an average xG of 1.70, France has scored 2.25 goals per game so far in the world cup. With more than 15 shots per game, Les Blues has been a formidable force. France has had 6.3 shots on goal on average.

The defense of France has largely mirrored that of the Nations League. With an average goal scored per game, France has yet to record a clean sheet; 7.8 shots have been allowed per game by France.

Head-to-head encounters

In the history of football, England and France have faced off 31 times. With 17 victories, England has trounced its European rivals. They’ve lost to France nine times, with five games ending in draws. In their last five encounters, France has prevailed three times. The most recent meeting saw France defeat England 3-2.

Match analytics

These two arch-rivals playing each other in the quarter-finals can’t provide anything else but an intriguing game. In terms of strategy and data, England edges over France marginally. Numerous parameters, such as a player’s form, the diversity of goal scorers, the percentage of goals scored, the percentage rise in form, the average player ratings, and the likelihood of a goal being scored, are among the factors. There are more reasons to believe that England will score more goals.
