Odds for the 2022 World Cup, England-France: the penalties are at 5.75

A historic rivalry, which is enriched by a new chapter in the most prestigious setting: the World Cup. It will be England’s third meeting with France at this tournament, the Three Lions having won the previous two – 2-0 in 1966 and 3-1 in 1982, both in the group stage. This time we are playing for a place among the four best selections in the world, with Les Bleus chasing an encore and the English looking for a triumph that has been missing since 1966.

THE PREDICTION

—

In most cases, the values ​​of the formations that arrive at this point in the competition are quite close and high-profile. England and France are no exception in this regard. This is why it is intriguing to bet on the possibility that this match can be decided directly on penalties, with the result remaining equal both in the 90 minutes and at the end of extra time. This option is quoted at 5.75 by Sisal (the opposite case at 1.10), while Better offers it at 5.50 without giving the opportunity to bet on the opposite hypothesis.
