England vs Senegal Predictions


England won two of their three group games with clear-cut victories. Senegal are no pushovers and will make this much more difficult but I'm backing a narrow England win. Marcus Rashford is tipped for more goals.

Head to Head


England and Senegal are meeting for the first time.

England Form


England failed to win in all six Nations League matches to finish bottom of League A/3 and get relegated.

Gareth Southgate’s side failed to score in four of their opening five games which included a 4-0 home defeat to Hungary. They ended their campaign with a 3-3 draw against Germany. 

England had a great start at the World Cup with a 6-2 win against Iran. They were then held to a 0-0 draw against USA in a match with few chances.

A Marcus Rashford second-half double and a goal from Phil Foden sealed a 3-0 win over neighbours and top spot in Group B for England.
