Which side of the total to take apparently hinges on whether England coach Gareth Southgate maintains his shot-creating lineup and approach or flips to a defense-first posture. The prevailing thought is that Southgate will not tinker with success and keep his lads attacking, which could lead to a score fest. France wields a powerful one-two punch in Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud, who have teamed for eight goals. The French have yet to notch a single shutout, while the Brits' defense has been lacking at times. This shapes up as a four-goal game.
The Three Lions have the superior depth, so if it goes to the wire, they’ll have the advantage. I don’t think it will, so I love this at +130. England have been slow starters, and France have the talent to take advantage and grab an early lead. That will put a ton of pressure on England. Kylian Mbappe will be the best player on the field, and Olivier Giroud just always ends up in the right spot to put one away. Both teams should score, but the England back line will make some mistakes, and Mbappe’s finishing has been ruthless. I say France wins 3-1.
