Preview
The England team successfully held the group stage, taking first place, while never losing (2 wins and 1 draw).
As you know, in the last round the team managed to defeat Uls with a score (3-0), and for the first time since 2006 they led the World Cup group.
Also, 9 goals scored in the tournament is the second most scored in any World Cup final, including the playoffs.
It is worth noting that it was in the game with Wales that the British scored for the 100th time in the main tournaments of the planet. The national team missed only two goals in a duel with Iran.
Even at the start of the 2022 World Cup, it was predicted that the final game between Senegal and Ecuador would determine who would claim second place in Group A qualification.
It all happened in this way – the African team failed in the first game with the Netherlands (0:2), after which they won twice in matches against Qatar (3-1) and Ecuador (2-1).
This success allowed them to become the third team from Africa in the playoffs and only the third country to qualify for the World Cup.
There is a chance to become the first team in history to beat England in this championship.
Players to watch
Marcus Rashford became the first Manchester United player to score three goals in a major tournament for England in a double against Wales.
For Ismaïla Sarr’s in the match with Ecuador, it was his fifth high-scoring match for the club or national team since the beginning of October.
Head to Head
England have never played against Senegal in the international arena and this weekend will see the first meeting between the two teams.
Senegal have won three of their last six matches against European opponents in the FIFA World Cup and lost their last such match against the Netherlands by a (2-0) scoreline.
Prediction
In this match, the favorite of the meeting is the England team. Under Gareth, Southgate has already won 11 World Cup finals, more than any other national team coach.
The English must succeed and a great selection of players will put the African team in its place, and at the same time they will be able to do this at the expense of the quality and experience of the performers.
Prediction for this match: England win 1st half.
- England win by two goals.
