England and Senegal tonight meet for the first ever time as they face off for a place in the World Cup quarter-finals.
The Three Lions toiled at times in Group B, particularly in a dull goalles draw with the USA, but never looked back once scoring early in the second half against Wales. Senegal had to beat Ecuador and did, even after their South American opponents fought back to level matters.
Now it’s time to look forward as they battle for the right to, likely, play world champions France in the quarter-finals.

England vs Senegal prediction
England will know that they cannot start slowly against Senegal, much like they did against both USA and Wales.
Senegal are by no means pushovers and can take the game to the Three Lions, who must set the tempo and control proceedings. If they can then it should be relatively straightforward - or as straightforward as it can be for England at a tournament.
England to win 2-0.
