England vs France Prediction & Betting tips
The headliner of the quarter-finals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup is definitely the duel between England and France, probably the best teams in Europe at the moment. The most recent direct duel between the two teams took place in 2017 in a friendly match won by France in Paris with 3-2. At the World Championship, the two national teams have met only twice so far, in 1966 when England won 2-0 and in 1982 when England won 3-1, both matches taking place in groups. The most recent official match between England and France took place at Euro 2012 in the groups and ended in a tie, score 1-1, both teams qualifying further.
England:
England was part of group B in this final tournament, which they started very well with a 6-2 victory against Iran. After this victory, there followed a weak match played by England, which only ended in a tie, score 0-0, the duel with the USA. The qualification came in the last match when England beat Wales 3-0 at the end of a very good match. In the round of 16, England came across an easy opponent, so to speak, and respected its status as the favorite team, winning 3-0 and qualifying for the quarter-finals. At the last two final tournaments, England managed to reach the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2022.
France:
On the other hand, France was assigned to group D at this final tournament, along with Denmark, Tunisia and Australia. France secured qualification after the first two matches, managing to beat Australia 4-1 in the opening match, followed by a 2-1 victory over Denmark. Having already secured qualification, France allowed itself to be defeated by Tunisia 1-0 in the last match, which secured a record victory against the 2018 world champions. In the round of 16, France met Poland, the team that it passed rather easily with the score of 3-1 and thus continues its way to the second consecutive final.
