In the second quarterfinal match of the Qatar World Cup, England and France will compete. We select the optimal outcome.
England
England reached the quarterfinals very confidently, having won three victories with one draw. The Three Lions scored seven points in the group stage. They defeated Iran (6-2) and Wales (3-0) in the first and third rounds, and between the Victorians there was a draw with the USA (0-0). In the playoffs, the British came out of the first place of Group B, having received Senegal as rivals. It seemed that the representative of Africa would be able to fight, but England played very well, leaving no chance for the opponent to succeed (3-0). For a long time she could not find the keys to Edouard Mendy's goal, but at the end of the first half the situation was corrected. Henderson and Kane scored a goal each, and in the 57th minute Saka put an end to it.
France
After two rounds of the group stage, France had six points, having coped with Australia (4-1) and Denmark (2-1), so the third round game against Tunisia came out as a reserve squad, which failed to extend the winning streak - a 0:1 defeat, and even the exit of the leaders in the final third of the match did not affect the final result. But the defeat did not prevent France from retaining the first place in the D quartet. At the 1/8 finals stage, the French received Poles as rivals. Lewandowski and the company tried to impose a fight, creating several dangerous moments, but Kylian Mbappe and his partners had much more acute episodes. As a result, France won 3-1 and went to the quarterfinals, and Mbappe scored a double.
Statistics and figures:
- England has not lost yet - three wins and a draw;
- France has three wins and a loss;
- England have beaten France in one game out of the last nine.
Forecast
Both teams are in good shape and are winning by a margin. They also have performers of the highest level who are able to make a goal out of nothing. I believe that in the upcoming battle, England and France will be able to effectively prove themselves in attack, scoring at least one goal.
