Belgium and England meet for a second time at this World Cup, as the group rivals now play for the bronze in St. Petersburg. England took a difficult 2-1 loss in extra time against Croatia in their semifinal, while Belgium fell to France, 1-0, in their semifinal. This will definitely have a different tenor than the group play match. In that game, both teams were guaranteed to advance to the knockout rounds — and both seemed to want to lose, as losing put them on the easier side of the draw. Belgium won, 1-0, but England’s side featured a lot of reserves. This is also odd because both teams are coming off difficult and frustrating losses — the third-place game is something of a rarity in tournament play because of the anticlimax involved. We’ve got a 2018 World Cup betting preview of this match for you to peruse as you think about how to wager.
