An England side that’s not fully focused could find themselves in a real scrap for three points against a solid Senegal outfit tonight.
19:45 Tuesday
After a somewhat lackluster showing against Andorra, Thomas Tuchel's England have a lot to prove when they face Senegal tonight.
England vs Senegal Prediction
- England were far from convincing against Andorra on Saturday, winning 1-0 to maintain their 100% start to life under Thomas Tuchel.
- The Three Lions are yet to concede since the former Chelsea and Bayern boss took over.
- Senegal extended their unbeaten run to nine matches with a 1-1 draw against the Republic of Ireland.
- While the Lions of Teranga haven't lost since last January, they have also drawn two of their last three games.
- With some players looking ahead to the end of the season, and others gearing up for the Club World Cup, this is unlikely to be a clash that catches the eye.
Score Prediction: England 1-1 Senegal

England vs Senegal Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder tips for England vs Senegal features Under 2.5 Goals, Kalidou Koulibaly 2+ Fouls & Sarr 1+ Shot on Target.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 18/1 with bet365.
- Koulibaly has committed a foul in each of the last five games for Al-Hilal in which his side won and dominated possesion. He committed two fouls in two of those games. Up against England who should dominate the ball and test Koulibaly, we should see the Senegalese defender commit a couple of fouls.
- There have been under 2.5 goals in 12 of the last 14 Senegal games and England struggled to score against Andorra and might be distracted for this fixture with many players focused on the Club World Cup or winding down at the end of a long season.
- Senegal are not to be underestimated and their front three could cause England some trouble in this fixture. Sarr averaged a shot on target per 90 in the Premier League and scored recently against Ireland.
