Why Bet on England
In soccer, you have to go beyond results and goals. England went unbeaten in the group stage, crushing Iran (6-2) and Wales (3-0), and drawing with the United States (0-0). However, despite the high number of goals, they are not a team that surprises a lot, and it was evidenced in the game with the North Americans.
It was the most anticipated duel of that group, the battle between “football” and “soccer”, and it ended up being a boring draw. The English did not know how to unlock their rival and that is something they will see against Senegal since the Africans are very physical.
We must highlight the new generation of this team. Marcus Rashford (3 goals, 25 years), Bukayo Saka (2 goals, 21 years), Jude Bellingham (1 goal, 19 years), and Phil Foden (1 goal, 22 years). 7 of the team’s 9 goals have been scored by these youngsters, while the other two were by Jack Grealish (27) and Raheem Sterling (27), who aren’t old either.
Gareth Southgate assembled a mature and experienced team in defense, and from midfield up paired Harry Kane with several youngsters to explode in the attack. A good strategy that has worked for him, but we have to see now that the World Cup is becoming more complicated.
Why Bet on Senegal
Before the World Cup, soccer fans did not believe in the Senegal team after the injury of its top star, Sadio Mané. The forward was left out due to injury and it seemed like the end of the world, but his teammates showed that it was not like that and they managed to advance in a good way.
They lost the first game against the Netherlands 2-0 with two goals in the final minutes, but they recovered and beat Qatar 3-1 and Ecuador 2-1 in the final game, managing to qualify for the second time in their history the round of 16 in three participations they have. The last time, in Korea-Japan 2002, they reached the quarterfinals.
In the absence of Mané, the whole team has worked to score goals. 5 different players scored the 5 goals for the team, and Kalidou Koulibaly, its captain, became the hero when he scored the qualifying goal against Ecuador.
Idrissa Gueye received two yellow cards and will not be able to play against England, which is a very important loss.
Final Betting Analysis: England vs. Senegal
It will be a fairly even game where England will try to assert the speed of their young players, while Senegal will try to win with their physical power. It will cost the Europeans just as it cost the United States, and that is why we believe it will be a draw.
At MyBookie.ag we find that England is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -187, while Senegal has +600 and the draw is +290.
This will be the first time these two teams meet.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the draw at +290, you will gain $290 for a total payout of $390.
