England v Senegal prediction and team news: Who will win Round of 16 game?
Our predictions for England v Senegal in the World Cup 2022 Round of 16, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
England enter the knockout phase of World Cup 2022 with escalating expectations as they prepare to face Senegal in the Round of 16.
The Three Lions came through Group B relatively unscathed with a 6-2 victory over Iran and 3-0 thumping of Wales either side of a goalless draw with a spirited USA side.
Gareth Southgate will be keen to keep his squad grounded, but fans are right to be getting excited with Marcus Rashford, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka among the attacking stars bristling at this tournament.

England v Senegal prediction
England have all the tools to beat any team in this tournament. They are the joint-top scorers in this competition so far alongside Spain with goals coming from a host of sources.
Harry Kane is yet to get off the mark, but three assists to his name prove his immense quality as a playmaker with plenty of threats buzzing around him.
Many were concerned about England's defensive robustness going into this tournament, but Harry Maguire has silenced his critics to put in a handful of massive performances so far, while John Stones has quietly gone about his business as one of England's finest performers so far.
Senegal will offer more threat than anyone England have faced so far, but England will respond with a far greater armoury and give the African side plenty of problems to deal with.
Our prediction: England 2-0 Senegal (11/2 at bet365)
