Meeting statistics

On Sunday, England and Senegal will play each other for the first time ever as they compete for a spot in the World Cup quarter-finals. Both struggled to leave their groups, but they succeeded in doing so in a way that gave them more confidence. The ‘Three Lions’ struggled against Wales at times, but after scoring early in the second half, they never looked back. Even after their South American opponents rallied back to tie the game, Senegal had to defeat Ecuador and accomplished so.

As these two compete for the chance to potentially face world champions France in the quarter-finals, it’s now time to look ahead...

The current form of England

With two wins over Iran and Wales in between a 0-0 tie with the United States, the runners-up at the European Championship took first place in their group. For the encounter against Wales, Gareth Southgate modified his midfield and forward lineup, with varying degrees of success. Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden scored the goals but Jordan Henderson appeared to be much off the pace. The choice for Southgate is whether to maintain his three central midfielders or add additional pace up top. Despite competition from Kieran Trippier and the inactive Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker could keep his spot at right-back after making a strong comeback.

All in all, with the exception of Arsenal center-back Ben White, who withdrew from the team earlier this week for personal reasons, Southgate ought to have a wide range of alternatives available to him come Sunday. As we said, he faces some difficult decisions in light of the forwards’ strong performance against Wales.

The current form of Senegal

Senegal triumphed over Qatar and Ecuador after overcoming the adversity of losing their star forward Sadio Mané prior to the competition and their opening match of the campaign against the Netherlands.

Cheikhou Kouyaté is still expected to be absent from Senegal. Idrissa Gana Gueye, a midfielder for Everton, is suspended for what would’ve been his 100th appearance.

Match analytics

As they did against both the United States and Wales, England will be aware that they can’t get off to a sluggish start against Senegal. The ‘Three Lions’ must control the tempo of the game because Senegal is by no means a pushover and has the ability to challenge them. If they can, it should be rather simple—or at least as simple as it can be for England in a competition.

We advise: England to score in both halves at LSbet.com with odds of 2.75.
