Offense and defense alike have cracks—goals arrive as promised. The World Cup betting diary of “Little Lucky Money” 🔥

Tomorrow’s World Cup third-place match gets underway first. Although ahead of the match both England and France have said they don’t care about finishing third, I think it may actually make both sides “go all out,” delivering a goal-fest for everyone. You can take a bet on “both teams to score,” and you likely won’t lose:

I. The “release effect” of the third-place match: no baggage, so you dare to swing

First, you need to understand the unique psychological ecosystem of the third/fourth-place final. This is not a do-or-die knockout. There’s no fear of “losing means going home,” and no pressure of “winning gets you to the final.” Both teams have already recovered from the biggest regrets of this World Cup—France lost in the semifinals, and England also tasted defeat in the semifinals. When the deepest wound has been stitched up a little by time, and the players finally shed the thousand-pound weight of “we must win,” what replaces it is a relaxed feeling of “just enjoy it.”

And that kind of looseness is precisely a catalyst for goals. Looking back at past World Cup third/fourth-place matches, there are almost no games that end as a dull 0-0. In 1994, Sweden vs Bulgaria finished 4-0; in 2002, South Korea vs Turkey finished 2-3; in 2014, Brazil vs the Netherlands finished 0-3; in 2018, Belgium vs England finished 2-0. Even those “defensive” third-place matches still see at least one side break through. And when both sides have top-tier attacking units, goals are even more or less a sure thing. France and England are exactly in this “dual-gun standoff” scenario—each has the ability to tear open the opponent’s back line, and no one can guarantee a clean sheet.

II. France’s attacking firepower: it’s not a question of “whether they’ll score,” but “how many they’ll score”

France’s attacking numbers in this World Cup are downright terrifying. They scored sixteen goals in seven matches—more than two per game—and topped the group among the 32 teams. Mbappé leads the top scorers with eight goals. Dembélé’s five goals and two assists are equally impressive. Griezmann’s orchestration stitches the entire attacking line together. This France attacking system is running at full capacity—Mbappé’s all-out sprints in fast breaks, Griezmann’s precise through balls when infiltrating from the middle, and Dembélé’s inside-cutting long-range shots when blowing up the flanks. Every method of attack is enough to leave any defense scrambling.

Even more importantly, for France, the third-place match is a “prove-it game.” The semifinal loss left the whole team holding in a breath—they need to use goals to prove they’re still one of the most attacking teams on this planet. When Deschamps stretches the attacking formation to the max, and Mbappé steps onto the pitch with the hunger of the golden boot, France breaking through becomes almost unstoppable.

But France’s defense also has cracks. Saliba’s injury absence removes the most solid cornerstone from the back line. Upamecano, though brave, can be occasionally reckless. Theo Hernández is proactive with assists, yet his retreating is a bit slow. Against England’s three-dimensional attack, France cannot possibly be watertight.

III. England’s counterattacking edge: the Three Lions aren’t here to “just go through the motions”

Many people habitually underestimate England’s attacking ability, thinking they “only know how to pass it back and forth.” But the truth is, this England side has a world-class attacking core like Bellingham—his goals and assists in this tournament are right on target. He’s capable of everything: long-range shots, headers, and making runs forward to break the deadlock. Kane, as captain and finisher, may not have eye-popping goal numbers in this tournament, but his link-up play and instincts in front of goal are still top-tier. Saka’s dribbles and breakthroughs on the right are also a nightmare for France’s left-side defense—his dribbling and crosses are England’s most reliable starting points for attack.

More importantly, England didn’t come into this match to “kill time.” Tuchel has already made it clear: the team wants to put a positive end to this World Cup with a win. And England’s attacking resilience in this tournament is plain for everyone to see—the group stage was effortless, and the knockout rounds have repeatedly featured standout performances. Their problem has never been “can they score?” but “can they keep it out?” When Kane and Bellingham team up to pressure France’s back line—which is not perfect—goals are just a matter of time.

IV. “Two-way defensive loopholes”: nobody can guarantee a clean sheet

This is the core logic behind both teams scoring—neither team’s defense is made of impenetrable steel.

For France, Saliba’s absence is a fatal blow. This Arsenal center-back’s performance in the tournament has been near-flawless, and his absence significantly reduces the stability of France’s center-back pairing. Upamecano has excellent physical attributes but sometimes his positioning is off. Koundé can fill in as a center-back, but ultimately he’s not the first choice. Against England’s flank pressure from Saka and the central hold-up/link-up play from Kane, France’s back line will face enormous pressure. What’s more, France’s midfield double holding style—double “holding midfielders”—is not enough to simply “strangle” a player of Bellingham’s level; once someone slips through, it becomes a deadly gap.

England’s defensive problems are just as alarming. Stones and Konsa’s center-back partnership is too slow on pace; against Mbappé’s blistering sprints it becomes an almost natural disadvantage. On the left, Luke Shaw or Trippier’s recovery speed simply cannot keep up with Dembélé’s change-of-pace accelerations and swerve. In this World Cup, England have already exposed their weakness multiple times: getting beaten behind when they push a high defensive line. And France is exactly one of the teams in the world that is best at playing this kind of counterattack. When the Three Lions press forward, the space left behind for France’s fast attackers will be an open field.
