England vs France Odds: World Cup 3rd Place Match
Sixty years of hurt goes on — and it ended in the cruelest way possible. Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute goal had England ahead in Atlanta and 35 minutes from a World Cup final, but Argentina turned it in the closing stages: Enzo Fernández’s 85th-minute rocket and Lautaro Martínez’s stoppage-time header, both assisted by Messi. What remains is Saturday’s bronze medal match against France in Miami — a fixture England have never won, after fourth-place finishes in 1990 and 2018. Tuchel admitted nobody wanted this game, but there is real history available: England’s first-ever World Cup bronze, and one more match for Kane and Bellingham, level on 6 tournament goals each. Both managers are expected to rotate, and the market expects goals — the total is 3.5, a full goal higher than either semifinal. Here is everything you need to bet on England at the 2026 World Cup: the latest England vs France odds, full results, and the best bets.

A match neither team wanted, in a stadium England know well — Hard Rock is where Bellingham’s extra-time winner beat Norway in the quarterfinal. Both managers are expected to rotate, which is why the total sits at 3.5 when neither semifinal cracked 2.5. England’s route to goals runs through Kane — open play, penalties, and set pieces against a rotated French defense — with Bellingham arriving late from midfield; both sit on 6 goals, chasing Mbappé’s 8 in a Golden Boot race that is realistically out of reach but not mathematically dead. The danger at the other end is obvious: Mbappé has his own scoring title to win and punishes any back line that sits a fraction too deep. The history adds the edge: England have finished fourth twice, in 1990 and 2018, and have never won a World Cup third-place match. Saturday is the chance to erase that — and to send Tuchel’s first tournament out with a medal instead of nothing.
England World Cup Betting Markets
| Market | Odds | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| England to Win (90 min) | +275 | Nearly 3-to-1. Only Spain beat France in 90 minutes all tournament — but only England get France rotated. |
| France to Win (90 min) | -116 | France favored even rotated. Mbappé has a Golden Boot to chase and will be motivated. |
| Draw (90 min) | +290 | The least likely script in a rotated, open game — the market prices it accordingly. |
| England Spread +0.5 | -105 | Covers England win OR draw after 90 at near even money. The value side for England backers. |
| Over 3.5 Goals | +110 | The structural play. Rotation, freedom, and the tournament’s top scorers in one fixture. A full goal higher than either semifinal total. |
| England to Win 3rd Place (incl. ET + Pens) | +160 | Would be England’s first World Cup bronze ever after fourth-place finishes in 1990 and 2018. |
| No Overtime | -391 | Pairs with the Over: an open game with goals gets decided in 90. Overtime Yes sits at +255. |
| Kane Anytime Scorer | Live at BUSR | 6 tournament goals. Takes penalties. England’s entire attacking output runs through him. |
| Bellingham Anytime Scorer | Live at BUSR | 6 tournament goals, level with Kane. Late runs from midfield into a rotated French block. |

England Key Players
Bellingham leaves this tournament with iconic moments — the quickfire brace against Mexico with ten men, the equalizer and extra-time winner against Norway right here at Hard Rock Stadium. Six tournament goals, level with Kane, at 23 years old. A rotated, open third-place match is tailor-made for his late runs into the box: more space between the lines, less defensive discipline, and a France midfield unlikely to track at full intensity. If England win their first-ever bronze on Saturday, Bellingham’s fingerprints will be on it.
Kane sits on 6 tournament goals — catching Mbappé’s 8 would take a hat-trick, realistically out of reach but not mathematically impossible. What is certain is that England’s route to goals runs through him: open play, penalties, and set pieces against a rotated French defense. The captain gets one more match to close his tournament with the bronze medal England have never won, after the Three Lions came up empty in this fixture in both 1990 and 2018.
Saka came on at half-time against Norway as part of Tuchel’s double substitution and transformed England’s performance at this very stadium. His directness, his ability to beat defenders with pace on the right side, and his partnership with Eze gave England a completely different dimension in that quarterfinal. In a rotated match, Saka could start rather than rescue — and against a changed French left side, he is England’s most dangerous wide outlet and the player most likely to create the chances Kane and Bellingham finish.
