Is France ready to end the “it’s coming home” campaign or will the three lions be able to put a full stop to the defending champions? It is expected this game to be a very exciting clash of the quarterfinals as both teams have a top-level squad.
Both teams have been very good so far, their players are in form, and tactically they have been great. It is tough to say who’s gonna win the match. However, one team looks a bit stronger, you’ll find out later in the article.
Match Preview:
Now, neither of the teams are favourite to win the World Cup but we can’t deny that they have been exceptionally good in their recent matches.
England, who impressed the world with their game defeating Senegal 3-0 raised fans’ expectations. Goals by Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson, and Bukayo Saka helped England defeat the African champions 3-0 in the last 16.
Against Iran, Wales, and Senegal, England has scored 12 goals in three World Cup games in Qatar so far and the best part is they haven’t lost any game in this World Cup. They won all of their games except against Iran to them the match ended with a ‘no result”.
France on the other hand, who already lost one of their 4 games too looking very strong. France’s attack is one of the best-attacking groups of the World Cup, filled with experienced players and young talents.
However, France drops some points in their defense. They are not that good defensively. A counterattack from England may create trouble for them. Even if they survive England but facing teams like Brazil who are exceptionally good in counter-attacks can end their dream to retain their World cup title.
But they are not just strong but very strong in the attack, statistically, they are leading in every aspect of the attack. So, for England stoping the French attack would be a challenge.
Prediction
I would say France is going to win the match with dominance, Harry Maguire will not be able to beat the pace of Mbappe and France will make a place in the last 4 of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
