FIFA World Cup 2022, Qatar, quarterfinals: England vs France Al Bayt Stadium takes place the top derby between England and the defending champion France on Saturday evening., and here we go with preview and prediction for this football match from World Cup 2022.
This is maybe the most interesting match of the World Cup quarter finals. Both sides are playing very well in this tournament, so it is really tough to tell which team is closer to the semifinals. In my opinion, the French national team has better individuals, like Kylian Mbappe, so they maybe have bigger chances to take a victory here, but it is quite certain that this will be a really tight game all the way to the end. Either team has played very well so far. France won the group D with 6 points and then, in the 1/8 finals, beat Poland easily 3-1. On the other side, the English national team was first in the group B with 7 points and later, in the 1/8 finals game against Senegal, they were quite convincing as they won 3-0. In any case, it is really hard to predict the winner of this match, but I think that we can expect a low scoring game because both teams are playing very well at the defensive end and besides, this game is important for either team, so I expect them to play carefully from the start of the match. I don't expect goals in the first half of the match. Under 0.5 goals in first half.
