In this third-place playoff, both teams are expected to play with greater freedom and produce an entertaining, open contest. England enters the match with heavier legs after several physically demanding knockout games that went beyond 90 minutes. France has displayed greater balance throughout the tournament, and that overall squad quality should prove to be the decisive factor. A high-scoring encounter is expected, with France ultimately securing victory and the bronze medals.
