England vs. Senegal Prediction

• Where: Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar
• When: Sunday, December 4, 10 pm local time

The Three Lions begin the serious part of their World Cup title quest. Gareth Southgate’s crew has Senegal in front of themselves in the round of 16. The first game in the knockout stage is always the most important one and the toughest for playing, which is why Southgate calls for the utmost sense of urgency among his players. Senegal has no pressure, and the African champions come into this event knowing they are massive underdogs.

England vs. Senegal Preview 

England

Excellent performances against Iran and Wales have boosted the English fans’ morale; on the other side, there were plenty of things they didn’t want to see. The game vs. USA wasn’t very reassuring, and we saw a negative backlash on social networks.

It needs to be mentioned that England had lots of luck with its rivals, Iran collapsed in the opening game for various reasons, the USA played to get one point, and Wales was already eliminated and had to go for all three points recklessly. 

The positive thing for Southgate is that he doesn’t have any problems with suspended or injured players. Also, his options are massive, because of the superb form of the entire roster. 

Senegal

The African champs are through the groups, even though they appeared without Sadio Mane, who is one of the best players in the world right now. The remaining players showed their quality, shutting down all the critics and skeptics who expressed their doubts about this crew.

After losing against the Netherlands, the Lions of Teranga rose up, beating Qatar, 3-1 and Ecuador, 2-1, in the decisive matchup of this group, against the direct rivals for that second spot in Group A.

They like to play open football, with lots of running up and down, which might be the biggest strength of this unit. The attack is potent despite’s Mane’s absence because Saar and Dia play superbly.

England vs. Senegal Prediction

A tough matchup, indeed. England is the favorite, but we are going with under 2.5 goals, because Three Lions play defensive-minded football, and we think that Senegal will also have a cautious approach. That’s why it is reasonable to bet on low efficiency. 

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
