4th December 2022 – 20:00, Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor
England and Senegal will face each other in the World Cup 2022 Round of 16 on Sunday evening. The Three Lions seek a place in the next round, while the African champions will search for a surprise in this match.
England Preview & Team Team
England confirmed the top spot in Group B of the World Cup on Tuesday night after blitzing past Wales 3-0 with a second-half salvo. Gareth Southgate won’t have much time to celebrate England’s table-topping exploits in Qatar as attention quickly shifts to Sunday’s match-up against the current African champions, Senegal. The Three Lions produced two emphatic displays against Iran and Wales, winning those two contests with an aggregate scoreline of 9-2. Still, concerns remain about their rather timid and pedestrian display against the USA on matchday two. The injection of Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden bred new life and vitality into the side against Wales, and Southgate will be hoping to carry that momentum into the knockouts.
Senegal Preview & Team News
Senegal has reached the knockouts of a World Cup for only the second time in its history. When the Lions of Teranga made the quarter-finals in 2002, Aliou Cisse was the nation’s captain; two decades on, the former PSG and Birmingham player is now the manager, furthering his legacy for the West African country. They came through a stern examination from Ecuador on Tuesday to maintain their stay in Qatar. Nottingham Forest and Senegal midfielder Cheikhou Kouyaté has missed training ahead of his country’s World Cup last 16 clash against England on Sunday. Nevertheless, Senegal will try to stun their rivals and provide a huge surprise.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Senegal has consolidated its game after the starting defeat, but England is a much tougher opponent than Qatar and Ecuador. We believe the Three Lions will meet expectations and progress to the quarter-finals.
Goals Market Prediction
It should be an entertaining clash, and England could have some trouble with Senegal’s offense. Therefore, we won’t be surprised to see goals in both nets.
