France vs England Moneyline Prediction

France missed out on a third consecutive FIFA World Cup final after losing 2-0 to Spain in Tuesday’s semifinal. Les Bleus were limited to just 10 shots, three on target, and a mere 0.31 xG. That marked the first time they failed to score at this tournament, but with 16 goals in seven matches, they should be able to bounce back in this clash.

England broke the deadlock in their semifinal against Argentina through Anthony Gordon, but two late goals after the 85th minute forced them to settle for a third-place berth when they had the game under control. Thomas Tuchel was under heavy scrutiny for making defensive changes, but also because the Three Lions’ defence hasn’t been their strongest suit. The team have kept just two clean sheets throughout the tournament.

England have shown they can compete with almost any side in the world, but they looked gassed against Argentina. In what will be Didier Deschamps’ final game with Les Bleus, France are likely to dominate possession against a tired English squad. Expect Deschamps’ men to use their plethora of attacking options to come away with the win and earn the bronze medal.

France vs England Player Prop

Kylian Mbappé has found the back of the net in five of France’s six matches in which they have scored at this World Cup. He also boasts an excellent record against English opposition at club level, with 10 goals in 20 appearances.

France’s attack flows through him, and with eight goals already at the World Cup, Mbappé should be heavily involved as he aims to end the tournament as the top scorer ahead of Lionel Messi.

France vs England Same Game Parlay

France were left scoreless for the first time at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in their semifinal match against Spain. However, don’t expect that to happen again, as Les Bleus’ pace in the final third should prove too much for a depleted England defence. Meanwhile, the Three Lions have scored in all but one game at the tournament, and each of their four knockout-stage encounters has seen both teams score.

We’re also backing Mbappé not only to score, but to open the scoring. He is locked in a tight Golden Boot race with Messi, with both players sitting on eight goals. Additionally, he’s scored France’s first goal in each of the five outings he’s found the back of the net.

We’re also backing over 7.5 corners. Les Bleus have averaged 8.25 corners per knockout-stage game, while England have earned just 3.0. Still, it looks like a solid, attainable line based on both teams’ tendencies, especially if France dominate possession as expected.

France vs England Team News

France Team News 

France will be without William Saliba, who exited Tuesday’s semifinal against Spain due to back problems and is expected to miss an extended period. Marcus Thuram and Aurelien Tchouameni are dealing with knocks, but both are expected to be available for selection.

There are no other significant injury concerns, with the trio of Mbappé, Michael Olise, and Ousmane Démbéle set to lead the attack for Les Bleus.

England Team News

England remain without Jordan Henderson due to a wrist injury sustained after the match against Mexico in the Round of 16.

Jarell Quansah is available again after serving his two-match suspension. Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are both not fully fit, and while both should be included in the squad, it wouldn’t be surprising if they start on the bench.
