Former Chelsea star predicts possible outcome between England and Senegal

Former Chelsea star, Jason Cundy, has predicted the possible result of Sunday’s World Cup round of 16 tie between England and Senegal this weekend.

England and Senegal will head to head in the World Cup last-16 on Sunday as Gareth Southgate’s side were paired with the African team after they defeated Wales in their final group tie, while Senegal defeated Ecuador.

Providing his prediction, Cundy tipped the Three Lions to win with a 2-1 scoreline.

“Senegal are good, they are not brilliant, but they are good,” Cundy told Grosvenor Sport.

“England will have to be at their very, very best to beat them and I think they’ll be. England will have too much for them.

“Senegal have not got Sadio Mane, imagine if he was playing. They might even have topped their group if he was.

“I am going for a 2-1 win for England. It is going to be tight, but England will have too much. But I am not underestimating Senegal at all.

“Quality-wise England are better than them, but Senegal have physical players – quick, strong and with good quality – so it will be tight.”
