England vs. France Predictions

Prior to the tournament, we liked the +800 value of England winning it all, but this is an extremely difficult matchup against the 2018 winners. England has the talent to get the job done, but the “Three Lions” have a knack for flailing in moments like this. So what gives?

Honestly, you could make a case for either side to advance. This is an extremely difficult match to handicap on the three-way moneyline or “to advance” categories. Instead, we’ll focus our attention on the total. Both of these sides have some of the best goalscorers in the world. Aside from a 0-0 draw against the United States, England has scored three or more goals in every match. France has nine total goals in three matches outside of the final group clash against Tunisia — where they throttled back.

The final score could go 2-1 either way or 2-2 into extra time. For that reason, we’ll take over 2.5 total goals while getting plus-money.

The Pick: Over 2.5 total goals (in regulation) | +105 at BetMGM
