England vs. Australia Prediction
Australia has been resilient. But they haven't been incredible.
Australia only put four shots on goal against France and added 14 shots in total. Meanwhile, France added 21 shots and only five shots on goal. Still, France won the possession battle slightly, and France added four more corner kicks in the quarterfinals matchup against Australia.
Meanwhile, England won possession 61% to 39% against Columbia and added six shots on goal, despite only taking ten shots total. Columbia took more shots, but England added more shots on goal.
England's more precise and should end up with more possession and corner kicks, just from putting the ball on the net more frequently.
Let's take England at +130 to win in regulation.
