Top England vs. France predictions
After examining France vs. England from every angle, Eimer is leaning Over 2.5 total goals (-235) or perhaps even Over 3.5 goals (+110). Eimer has factored in motivation. Neither team really wants to be here, so it’s fair to expect less-intense effort on the defensive side. But the premier scorers for each team – Kylian Mbappe for France, Harry Kane of England – are both in the running for the Golden Boot award for most goals scored at a World Cup.
“Kylian Mbappe will be motivated to attack for the Golden Boot award,” Eimer stated. “Meanwhile, Harry Kane is sitting two goals back alongside Jude Bellingham, so they’ll be able to find some personal motivation as well.” See Eimer’s best bets for England vs. France at SportsLine, and you can bet the Over in England vs. France at FanDuel here:
