General match analysis
Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. The match for third place has a completely different profile than the semi-final: less calculation, more rotation and more space after losing the ball. France has one additional day of rest, a deeper selection of offensive players and strong individual motivation related to the fight for goals and finishing the tournament on the podium. England suffered a very painful defeat after losing the lead, and some of the key players finish the tournament with heavy physical strain. The heat and humidity in Miami may slow the start, but there should be more spacing between formations in the second half. France is the minimum bet for victory, but the model sees its greatest advantage in the goal market, not in pure 1X2. Our prediction is 43% for France, 27% for draw and 30% for England. The most likely exact score is 2:1. Winner after full determination: France (58% vs 42%). Status: NOBET

Typ BTTS: yes. The match for third place has a completely different profile than the semi-final: less calculation, more rotation and more space after losing the ball. France has one additional day of rest, a deeper selection of offensive players and strong individual motivation related to the fight for goals and finishing the tournament on the podium.

France is the minimum bet for victory, but the model sees its greatest advantage in the goal market, not in pure 1X2. Lower sports stakes than in the semi-finals, possible changes in the lineups and greater willingness to take risks increase the likelihood of both teams scoring a goal. The model gives 62% on BTTS Yes and 38% on BTTS No. Expected goals: France 1.75, England 1.35. Status: BET
