Supercomputer drops new prediction for winner of England vs France in World Cup quarter-final clash

A supercomputer has made a fresh prediction for the hotly anticipated quarter-final showdown between England and 2018 World Cup champions France in Qatar.

Gareth Southgate’s men topped Group B, ahead of the USA, and punched their ticket to the knockout stages for a last-16 clash with Senegal.

However, Didier Deschamps’ men remain one of the World Cup favourites and have benefited from the impressive form of Kylian Mbappe, who is leading the race for the Golden Boot.

The supercomputer’s other predictions would see Argentina beat the Netherlands and Brazil would defeat Croatia, setting up an all-South American semi-final showdown.

Brazil would end Lionel Messi’s final chance of winning a World Cup with a win in the semi-finals before going on to beat France in the final, according to the supercomputer.

Speaking on the supercomputer’s predictions, a BonusCodeBets spokesperson said: “It looks like the quarter-finals will be the end of the road for England in this World Cup with our latest supercomputer predictions going in favour of France.

“The French will then march past Portugal in the semi-finals, but will be no match for Brazil in the final -- who will have beaten Argentina to get to the showpiece fixture.”

Southgate, who led England to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, believes that France will be the Three Lions’ “biggest test” at the tournament.

“They’re the world champions. They have incredible depth of talent. Outstanding individual players.

“They’re very difficult to play against and score goals against. It’s a fantastic challenge and a brilliant game for us to prepare for.

“It’s a brilliant game for us to be involved in and test ourselves against the very best.”
