English And Senegal they will compete for a ticket to the quarterfinals Cup World 2022. The three lions favorite to win that match.
England will face Senegal in the round of 16. The match will be held at Al Bayt Stadium, Monday (5/12) at 0200 WIB.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams in history. England are armed with an unbeaten run in the group stage after defeating Iran 6-2, drawing with the USA 0-0 and beating Wales 3-0.
On the other side of the pitch, Senegal managed two wins and one loss. The Lions of Light started the tournament with a 0-2 loss to the Netherlands but back-to-back wins against hosts Qatar 3-1 and Ecuador 2-1.
England are still looking for their first international title since winning the 1966 World Cup. Gareth Southgate’s men are closing in on their ambitions after becoming finalists at Euro 2020.
However, Senegal has the potential to create surprises, even without Sadio Mane. The African champions have the best players in the Premier League in Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and Ismaila Sarr. Although Idrissa Gueye will be absent due to accumulation of yellow cards.
“We know we will be favorites in terms of the table (England fifth, Senegal eighteenth), but Senegal will be a very dangerous team,” said England manager Gareth Southgate.
“We know many of their players have played in the Premier League and across Europe.”
Against Senegal, England will be led by Harry Kane. Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka have the potential to threaten the Senegalese defense having scored three goals each and scored twice in the group stage.
Considering the above factors, Detiksport predicts English will be at Senegal at least one goal difference. And you?
