England face Senegal in the round of 16 after both teams managed to qualify from their respective groups. The English national football team managed to finish first in Group B whilst the Senegal team finished second in Group A. The Senegal team lost their first match but proceeded to win the next two on the trot to secure a spot in the round of 16. As for England, they remain the only team along with Croatia, Morocco, the United States and the Netherlands to avoid defeat in the group stage. They will be looking to secure their spot in the quarterfinals and go into this tie as the favourites.

In this preview, we take a look at the England v Senegal World Cup odds for the clash of the two nations. The round of 16 fixture will decide which team will advance to the quarterfinals of the competition. Below, we take a look at the form that both teams have going into this nail-biter.

England face Senegal after finishing first in Group B whilst the Afcon Champions finished second. The Three Lions secured qualification on the third fixture but had practically already qualified after playing two matches. As for Senegal, the team needed to beat Ecuador on the final fixture of the group to finish above them. The Senegal team finished with 6 points whilst England qualified with 7.

Can Harry Kane Score for England?

The 2022 World Cup has been an emotional rollercoaster so far. England’s captain and main focal point is Harry Kane, who has played fantastically so far. Although, the England striker will be wondering why he has not yet scored a goal in the competition. In the last World Cup, Kane won the golden boot with six goals.

England will look to book a spot in the quarterfinals as long as they can beat Senegal. They go into the game having not lost a match yet. They have won two (against Iran and Wales) whilst drawing a stalemate 0-0 with the United States. One of the many reasons to back England in this fixture is their incredible goal scoring options. The squad consists of several attacking players that can start or make an impact off the bench. We have already seen that at this World Cup on several occasions.

Senegal to Come Out on Top?

The Senegal national football team will not consider England too much of a threat. They have already shown that they can come back against the odds. After losing their first fixture, the Afcon Champions won their matches against Qatar and Ecuador to secure a spot in the next round.

One of the biggest upsets for the Senegal national team and fans at home is the missing Sadio Mané. He is their talisman and star player. Unfortunately, Mané missed the World Cup due to an injury. The Senegal team will still fancy their chances of advancing to the next round, even without their number one player.

In the round of 16 clash, England will be looking to improve on their fine form by securing a win. According to online sportsbooks in Qatar, the Three Lions are favourites to win the match with odds of 1.49. A bet on Senegal would pay out 7.4 times your stake. As for a draw, online sportsbook 22Bet has branded the odds of 3.98.

Whilst a win for England looks to be on the cards, it is not always the case. If you do not want to bet on the match winner, there are several other lines that can be bet on. An example of this is a bet on both teams to score. That wager would pay out 2.43.

Another safer type of bet would be to wager on the number of goals in the match, rather than on the winner. If you bet on over 1.5 goals, the odds pay out at 1.4 odds. A bet on over 2.5 goals pays 2.28. It is also possible to bet on under 2.5 goals, which pays 1.62.

The bookies have England down as the firm favourites. Their chances of qualifying to the next round are 1.21. The odds on Senegal qualifying are 4.2. To bet on England winning by more than one goal, the odds are 2.52. A wager on England to win by exactly one goal are 3.2.

The Bottom Line

Thus, to conclude on the England v Senegal World Cup odds, the bookies appear to be backing the favourite to win. England should come out of this fixture as winners and have a spot in the round of 16. If you think that England will win this fixture, the odds of them to win in 90 minutes are 1.49. The odds of Senegal to win or draw the match pay out at 2.62. This could be a good option if you think that the tie will head into extra time, as either a Senegal win in 90 or a draw would pay out. If the match was a draw and England won in extra time, you would still receive the payout.
