England vs France prediction

France will be favourites and for plenty of reasons, the biggest being Kylian Mbappe. Then there’s the familiar face of Oliver Giroud and the busy Antoine Griezmann. But France can be got at, as Poland proved.

England have been guilty of slow starts in all four of their games so far, and you feel another could be catastrophic, but they have the quality to take the game to France and will surely target winning the midfield battle with Jude Bellingham.

France to win, 2-1 after extra time.
