WORLD CUP 2022 :- England vs Senegal Preview, Line Up, Match Info


  ENGLAND VS SENEGAL 

The pre-quarter matches are currently being held in Qatar.

   Today, while the European giants England are preparing for the pre-quarter match, the challenge is the African champions, Senegal.  The match will be played at the Al Bait Stadium in Doha at 12.30 midnight IST.

   England topped Group B.  Meanwhile, Senegal entered the pre-quarters as runners-up behind the Netherlands in Group A.  Even in the absence of their superstar Sadio Mane, Senegal has performed well so far.  If they can produce the same quality today, they can rock England.

   On the other hand, England is coming with the brightest stars of the Premier League.  If players like Kane, Saka, Rashford and Sterling come into form, there is no doubt that Senegal will sweat to catch them.  The winners of today's match will face the winners of the France-Poland pre-quarter match.  Anyway, let's hope for a good match
