After cruising past Poland 3-1, France became the first team on Sunday to book their place in the next round. Subsequently, England quickly followed in Les Bleus’ footsteps though. Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions thrashed Senegal 3-0 to set up a huge all-European World Cup betting odds quarter-final.
At the onset, Didier Deschamps’ Les Bleus were in top form. Veteran striker Olivier Giroud netted a record-breaking goal in the game’s first half. The former Arsenal and Chelsea hitman’s opening impressed. To show, against Poland, he reached 52 international goals for France. Thus, he moved ahead of legendary ex-striker Thierry Henry (51). Also, Kylian Mbappe was hugely influential, with the 22-year-old firing in a brilliant second-half brace.
In like manner to France, England proved too much for their Last 16 opponents. First half goals from Jordan Henderson and Harry Kane set the tone of the match. Before Bukayo Saka sealed Senegal’s World Cup fate.
When it comes to England vs. France, the only player who may be unavailable is midfielder Henderson. Henderson appeared to pick up a slight knock in the second half. Additionally, Raheem Sterling is also absent due to family reasons. But it remains unclear whether or not the Chelsea winger will return to the squad. As for France, they came through their Last 16 tie unscathed and will be at full strength when they take on England.
Consider England and France boasting two of the quickest rosters in this year’s World Cup. Hence this one should be an action-packed matchup. Of course, Mbappe is France’s most dangerous attacker. But gamblers can’t rule out the English, who also have many wide attackers. Including Man United’s electrically-paced Marcus Rashford.
To conclude, the talent that will be on display points toward goals. Thus, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see both nations hit the back of the net.
