Once again, England silenced their critics with a dominant second-half performance against Wales in the Group Stage, resulting in a 2-0 victory and a spot in the round of 16 at Qatar 2022 . Since this is the case, their most devoted supportersfans will be hoping they go far in Qatar. Senegal , who placed second in Group A after beating Ecuador in the last Group Stage match, will be their opponent in the round of 16.

The Three Lions will be confident going into the game since they have never lost an international match versus an African side in 20 attempts. As this is just Senegal’s second appearance in a World Cup knockout phase, they will give tough opposition despite feeling far less pressure than their opponents.

As an added bonus, several of the Senegalese players are under contract with English clubs and will be motivated to make a splash by causing an upset. They may be without Sadio Mane,but the Lions of Teranga still have a number ofstars like Chelsea’s Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly, Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, andLeicester’s Nampalys Mendy.

It’s a one-game format in the World Cup’s Knockout Round, starting from the Round of 16 and ending with the Final. That implies there is no opportunity to attempt to win the series by taking game two at their home stadium. An errorof any kind will have disastrous consequences.
