England vs Senegal Prediction

England 2-0 Senegal

After conceding two goals in the second half against Iran, the English went 180 minutes without conceding a goal against the United States and Wales. Their defense has been stout, and they control the midfield possession.

Even with a rotating lineup, England was able to score three goals against Wales in their final group match, and they are poised to make another deep run at this World Cup. Manager Gareth Southgate has been criticized for his lineup selections and tactics. He could be on his way out as England's manager without a run to either the semifinals or finals.

Bukayo Saka has been stellar for the English at this tournament, as well, as Marcus Rashford off the bench. This is a deep England squad, and Senegal will have trouble containing their attack for a full 90 minutes.

England will dominate the possession in this game, so Senegal will rely on the counterattack to score in this match. The Lions of Teranga have the pace in attack with Ismaïla Sarr to trouble the English defense but will have to convert the few chances they will have.

When Kalidou Koulibaly scored the winning goal against Ecuador, it was an inspiring moment for the Senegalese. Still, unfortunately, they will face a powerful England team in the round of 16.

I expect England to control over 60% of the possession in this match and slowly break down the Senegal backline.
