Prediction
England 2, Senegal 1
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
England should come out on top in regulation, and the odds here expect that. (-180) is unplayable odds for England to win. Senegal played a strong game against the Netherlands and still ended up losing.
They did score a combined 5 goals against Ecuador and Qatar. Senegal has solid, world-class talent from multiple top-tier leagues, but England has the pace and depth to outlast and wear them down.
England looked the part of a contender and should have the firepower to get multiple in on Senegal, who allowed 4 goals in 3 Group Stage matches.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (+145).
Both teams went Over this total in 2 of their 3 Group Stage games.
England scored 9 goals in 3 games and allowed 2. Senegal, on the other hand, scored 5 and allowed 4. The England attack is laced with dynamic wingers like F Marcus Rashford and F Raheem Sterling.
Couple that with arguably the best finisher in the world in F Harry Kane, and England should find success against a Senegal backline that allowed a goal in every Group Stage game.
Senegal also had double-digit shots in every Group Stage game, so expect them to have opportunities to score as well. Considering it all, back the OVER 2.5 (+145).
