Although both teams would have preferred to be preparing for Sunday’s World Cup final, England and France now have the chance to finish their tournaments on a high when they meet in tonight’s third-place play-off in Miami.
France’s World Cup hopes were ended by reigning European champions Spain in a surprise semi-final defeat, while England saw a 1-0 lead slip away as they were beaten 2-1 by Argentina in the second semi-final.
The betting markets make France the favourites to claim third place, with Didier Deschamps’ side priced at 5/6 to bounce back with victory.
England, meanwhile, are 11/4 outsiders with Sky Bet as they look to round off their campaign with a win.
France will take confidence from their most recent World Cup meeting with England, having beaten the Three Lions 2-1 in the quarter-finals of Qatar 2022.
Les Bleus ultimately went on to reach the final, while England’s tournament came to an end in that last-eight clash.
England vs France: Sky Bet odds, boosts and specials for World Cup third-place play-off
Alongside the standard match odds, Sky Bet are also offering a Featured RequestABet Special and four additional Price Boosts ahead of this highly anticipated clash.
The Featured RequestABet Special, which is priced at 11/1, requires both Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe to record two or more shots on target and win two or more fouls each.
Sky Bet are also boosting four individual markets, with Kane to score available at 13/10, Michael Olise to register an assist at 13/8, Mbappe to score two or more goals at 7/2, and Jude Bellingham to net twice at 16/1. All four bets include extra time.
Those markets are backed by impressive tournament numbers, with Kane and Mbappe having already scored two and three braces respectively at the World Cup, while Olise has provided five assists.
Bellingham has also been among the goals, scoring six times during the 2026 tournament, including back-to-back braces against Mexico and Norway.
