Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Over 1.5 Goals – 1.43
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Draw or Over 2.5 – 1.52
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Correct Score 1-1 – 7.50
Over 1.5 Goal
Considered the underdogs, Senegal have scored or conceded at least one goal in all of their games in the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament so far. Competing against a highly attacking minded England team that has averaged 3 goals in the last 3 games would very much likely end with an Over 1.5 Goal.
Draw or Over 2.5
If there have been any team in the tournament that have shown true stubbornness then it’s the Senegalese National team. After losing their opening game against Netherlands, Senegal have gone on to beat Qatar and Ecuador to make it into the round of 16. There are very high chances the match will end either as a Draw or an Over 2.5 Goals match, with the only time England failed to end with an Over 2.5 Goal in the ongoing competition, they ended with a goalless draw.
Correct Score 1-1
The 1-1 score is my pick as the closest score line the game may end at considering it being the first time both sides will be meeting as England will have to deal with the defensive ability of a Senegal team that has Kalidou Koulibaly and still managed to maintain their counter-attacking threats even with the absence of Sadio Mane who missed the World Cup through injury.

The Three Lions have started off their campaign in a fine way, claiming all three points except for against USA where they shared spoils after a 0-0 match result. The English team will look to advance into the next round where they will face either France or Poland if they manage to beat Senegal.

The African side is super boosted at this stage to hand the world a stunner by being the first African side to list the FIFA World Cup after making a sensational come back into win run after losing 2-0 to Netherlands in their opening game. Should Senegal manage to make it past England then they will get the tougher task of battling either Poland or France.
Definitely would be a tough match for both teams who have given their best to make it to this stage, I predict the 90 minutes to end even with a 1-1 or 0-0 draw.
Safe Bet
Considering the both team’s current form and statistics the safe bet option will be the option of no free-kick in the first 00:00 to 00:59 minutes that will only go south if either teams starts off in an unprofessional way.
England will miss Ben White who is out on personal reasons. Senegal on the other hand will have to deal with the headache of Idrissa Gueye sitting on the sideline due to yellow cards accumulation in the group stage. The side will also miss Cheikhou Kouyate who got injured after their first game but there are chances he could be risked for the game depending on his state then.
England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Luke Shaw; Declan Rice, Henderson, Jude Bellingham; Marcus Rashford, Kane, Phil Foden.
Senegal: Edouard Mendy; Sabaly, Kalidou Koulibaly, Diallo, Jakobs; Ciss, Gueye, Nampayls Mendy; Ndiaye, Dia, Ismaila Sarr.
