France v England Odds: Three Lions underdogs to finish third

Here are the latest odds for the 2026 World Cup Bronze Medal match between France and England.

It's always the match that the two losing semi-finalists don't want to play and England manager Thomas Tuchel echoed that sentiment in the aftermath of England's World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina.

England faced bitter rivals Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday evening and they were on course for their first appearance in the final since 1966 when Anthony Gordon gave them a second-half lead.

But the Three Lions sat back as soon as they had the seized the initiative and Thomas Tuchel's decision to adopt a 5-4-1 formation horribly backfired as Argentina scored two late goals to deservedly go through.

They take on France in Miami on Saturday after Didier Deschamps' side suffered a 2-0 defeat to an impressive Spain team on Tuesday.

France v England Odds

France are the odds-on favourites to finish third at this year's World Cup, with England the outsiders at 6/4.

The last World Cup meeting between the two nations came at the quarter-final stage in Qatar four years ago.

It was France who prevailed 2-1 on that occasion and a repeat scoreline is available at 17/2 ahead of the game.

Both managers could be tempted to give opportunities to players who have not featured regularly throughout the tournament, but nevertheless it is the familiar names of Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane who are at the top of the first goalscorer betting.

France captain Mbappe is 5/6 to score at any time and he remains in the picture to win the Golden Boot.

Over 2.5 goals is available at 1/2 as the pressure is relieved on both teams, while both teams to score can be backed at 4/9.
