St. Petersburg, July 14 (IANS) Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel expects France to defeat Croatia in the final of the 2018 World Cup.
Speaking at a press conference on the eve of Belgium's clash with England for third place on Friday, Witsel said that while a final is "always difficult," he thinks Les Bleus will prevail and win their second World Cup, reports Efe.
Witsel noted, however, that he is likely to miss the Croatia-France match on Sunday, as he will be with his Red Devil teammates at a ceremony to mark their return to Belgium.
