Tune in for a World Cup quarter-final showdown you don't want to miss as England and France go head-to-head this Sunday from 5.30am (AEDT).

For the first time in years, England will believe they can win against a top-ranked side and they could be right to think so. Gareth Southgate has previously gone for a back three in bigger matches but may well stick with a back four to maintain the midfield trio of Rice, Bellingham and Henderson, who have all linked up dangerously as demonstrated against Senegal. France have likely identified Jude Bellingham as the key man to stop in the midfield, which would deny England build-up on the counter.

It is arguably the match of the quarterfinals and the biggest of the World Cup to date, two favourites to go all the way in England and France face off, ...

SBS On Demand Be Part Of The Conversation SBS [Take It To The Neds France's defence at times has had its nervy moments, whilst England will need to avoid another slow start against a side that will definitely punish them for any impotency on the pitch. France have also been very strong going forward, with Olivier Giroud becoming the all-time top French goalscorer, whilst Kylian Mbappe scored a wonderful double in their last match against Poland.

Arguably the biggest match so far at the 2022 FIFA World Cup awaits when England and France do battle in the quarterfinals.

We've picked out an 11/10 England vs France prediction ahead of Saturday's huge quarter-final showdown.

With that in mind, the disparity in prices looks worth taking advantage of. [Betfred](https://promotions.betfred.com/#/affiliates/sports/football/world-cup-2022/bet-10-get-60?&siteid=104967&referrer=&click=414889388) And the 23/10 about a 90 minute stalemate makes appeal because, for all the brilliant attacking talent at both manager's disposal, both Gareth Southgate and Didier Deschamps are instinctively pragmatic and more likley to adopt a safety-first approach. [England to qualify - 11/10](https://promotions.betfred.com/#/affiliates/sports/football/world-cup-2022/bet-10-get-60?&siteid=104967&referrer=&click=414889388) That really would make space hard to find for England's host of attacking players. The draw, which would mean extra time and possibly penalties, looks a big runner at 23/10 and is probably the value in those outright prices.

France is a betting favorite against England on Saturday in the 2022 World Cup, with a tie listed at +230. Sports betting sites also have props.

World Cup knockout games are devastatingly brutal in their finality but at least this showdown looks intriguingly poised.

Indeed the role of the crowd should be minimal. And as any seasoned heavyweight will tell you, the end often comes a little quicker than you think. For 30 minutes against Wales and Senegal, and for 90 minutes against the United States, they looked bereft and maladroit: a team of spoons in a world of pork chops. France know how to defend a lead and they know how to chase one. More so because it is a purer footballing test, stripped of the emotional heft of a Wembley final, the blithe naivety of 2018, the historical baggage of England v Germany. Kane and Bellingham will try to overload Tchouaméni; Griezmann and Giroud will do the same with Rice. With Giroud and Kane in retreat, and assuming an unchanged England 4-3-3, the midfield essentially comprises two diamonds. [France](https://www.theguardian.com/football/france) and England lack a recognisable motif, a single consistent energy. Opponents push up the pitch, squeeze the space, force England to punt up the flanks. But in their moments of clarity, when the wingers dovetail and the midfielders storm the keep, few teams can withstand them. A microscopic VAR call; an act of unrepeatable brilliance; a lucky deflection off the backside of Olivier Giroud; a penalty kick. The night steals in like a kidnapper, wrapping its shroud around the desert like a bag over the head.

England are expected to name an unchanged team to face France on Saturday night in the World Cup quarter-finals. Gareth Southgate is set to keep faith with the ...

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville says it's the "game of a lifetime". Gareth Southgate has called it the "biggest test" England could face at this World Cup. Will he break up the three-man midfield that powered England past Wales and Senegal? He's already scored as many World Cup goals as the Argentine and more than the Portuguese - and he's not 24 until two days after the final. "With Bellingham, Henderson and Rice, England believe they have the better of France in that midfield, and that's where this game might be won or lost. "They think there's not a lot of pace there and they think they can exploit that. "I think it's a good move from Gareth Southgate. "He's going toe-to-toe with the world champions. It's going to be left to Kyle Walker to deal with him. Mbappe has never lost a World Cup or Euros match he's started. "It's a really positive note that he's going to go toe-to-toe with France, who we also expect to play 4-3-3. "I think this is really significant.

England's World Cup hopes face their toughest test yet, with Kylian Mbappe and France waiting in the quarterfinal.

Fair play to any punters who had Griezmann as the unlikely first candidate for a caution.

Hugo Lloris flaps a cross from the left behind.

Who will come out on top as two favourites clash with one another in a thrilling matchup?

They have history on their side, having beaten France every time they have faced them in the World Cup. Throughout this campaign, their well-balanced squad (in both experience and talent) has never really had to come out of second gear to beat the opposition. England and France are considered to be the favourites to go all the way to the end and win the golden prize of football.

England, France line-ups revealed for epic QF as Southgate makes major tactical call: WC LIVE.

Griezmann whipped in a tremendous cross from the left for Giroud to head in with the aid of a touch off Maguire. There was a touch of controversy to the goal, as it came from a France break which started with what looked like a foul by Dayot Upamecano on Saka. England had found their stride after a sluggish start in the last-16 win over Senegal and it was no surprise to see Southgate name an unchanged side, with Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden either side of Kane in attack. With Brazil having been eliminated on Friday and England dealt with here in the desert north of Doha, France are now surely the favourites to retain their crown as they prepare to face Morocco in the semi-finals. Aurelien Tchouameni had swept France into a first-half lead only for Kane to equalise from the spot nine minutes into the second half. Olivier Giroud scored the winner and Harry Kane missed a late penalty as holders France beat England 2-1 in a tense World Cup quarter-final on Saturday.

Gareth Southgate has made some changes too amidst all that mayhem. Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford are on for Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka. Not sure why the ...

And with good reason, after they dominated the French for large parts of the game. It was 36-year-old Olivier Giroud who was the match winner with a late header, but the game will forever be remembered for England captain Harry Kane sending a penalty kick soaring over the bar which would have levelled the match with seven minutes left of regulation time.

The hopes and dreams of English football fans have been dashed again by a missed penalty, as France set up a semifinal clash with Morocco.
