- Competition: International Friendly
- Date: 10th June, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: The City Ground (Nottingham)
Away from the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, England and Senegal will meet in an exciting international friendly at the City Ground in Nottingham on Tuesday.
The Three Lions go into this fixture on the back of an uninspiring 1-0 win over Andorra in the third round of World Cup qualifying on Saturday. Despite the mediocre performance, Thomas Tuchel’s men sit top of Group K after three games and are on course to qualify for next year’s tournament.
Senegal, on the other hand, did not take part in the CAF World Cup qualifiers and instead drew 1-1 with Ireland in a friendly. The West Africans are currently unbeaten in 15 consecutive matches in all competitions and will be keen to continue that impressive run in Nottingham on Tuesday.
England - Senegal Betting Tips: Under 2.5 Goals
England have not exactly lit up the world with their performances in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers so far under new head coach Tuchel. Despite winning all three of their group games, they have twice failed to score more than 2.5 goals. With the Senegalese team capable of preventing many clear-cut scoring chances (less than 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 games), England could find it difficult to break down the Senegalese defence.
However, the Three Lions are also capable of solid defensive performances themselves. As evidenced by their home record in recent games, in which they have kept a clean sheet in five consecutive matches, we expect a low-scoring encounter. A bet on Under 2.5 Goals Total seems a wise choice in this case.

Senegal should field a similar lineup to the one against Ireland on Saturday. Ismaila Sarr is the only obvious name who could return to the starting XI.
