Stat Attack
- This is England’s first friendly against Senegal, although the Three Lions won their Round of 16 clash at 2022 FIFA World Cup by 3-0 result.
- Senegal are playing England away on English soil for the first time.
- England have scored six goals without conceding in three matches in 2025 (W3).
- Excluding penalty shootouts, Senegal are unbeaten in their last 21 matches in all competitions (W15, D6).
Prediction
Despite their dominance away to Andorra, England simply lacked much intensity, desire or motivation aside from Noni Madueke and Jude Bellingham, which was a huge worry because they should of won far more comfortably and has given a chance for fringe players to lay a marker here.
Senegal though are a strong side with players like Idrissa Gueye, Ismaila Sarr, Pape Matar Sarr, Nicolas Jackson and Iliman Ndiaye familiar to England’s squad, who will know one another’s strengths which should make for some interesting battles amidst their impressive unbeaten run outside of penalties.
England though need to at least produce a more energetic performance in terms of pace and press with composed finishing, but Senegal do feel like they should have enough to frustrate the hosts and nick a draw.
Prediction: England 1-1 Senegal
