📊 I've looked into the key trends that happen in these Bronze Medal Matches. The worst game in football (the World Cup third-place play-off), these are historic betting trends that stood out. The biggest one? Goals. 16 of the 20 World Cup third-place play-offs have featured Over 2.5 Goals, including nine of the last 10. Both Teams to Score has also landed in 14 of the 20 games, and in seven of the last 10. It makes sense. Both teams have just suffered the disappointment of a World Cup semi-final defeat, so the intensity often drops. Managers also tend to rotate their squads, giving fringe players a chance to feature at a World Cup. Another interesting stat is that only one of the 20 third-place play-offs has finished level after 90 minutes. This fixture has also played a part in the Golden Boot race over the years. Croatia's Davor Suker won the award in 1998 after scoring the winner against the Netherlands, while Germany's Thomas Muller sealed the Golden Boot in 2010 by scoring in a 3-2 win over Uruguay. Given the goalscoring history of this fixture, it's a great opportunity for Golden Boot contenders to add to their tally. Looking ahead to France v England, Kylian Mbappe stands out. He’s currently level with Lionel Messi on eight goals and will surely be motivated to retain the award he won in 2022. Surely he will be at it and shooting at any given opportunity tomorrow.
Out of curiosity, will you watch the 3rd place game?
