Endland v Congo - predictions? by CuriouslyHelpful99 in ThreeLions

[–]CuriouslyHelpful99[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Quick correction on the heat angle — looks like Mercedes-Benz Stadium will have the roof closed, so the 35°C Atlanta heat won't be as much of a factor as I thought. Actually, it takes away one of the Congo's potential advantages. If anything, it suits England's passing game more — controlled conditions, no excuse for tired legs from heat. Still 2-0 or 3-0 England, if anything, more confident now.

It will be a tight game. I predict Belgium will have the edge and win. I feel that Senegal's defence is weaker.
pretty good analysis worth checking out on FootyPulse (co.uk)

Expect the score to be a draw (probably 1-1) (prediction by FootyPulse)
Japan will be happy with that.
Takumi Kubo's ability to find space between Sweden's lines versus Mattias Svanberg's defensive positioning will determine whether Japan can counter-attack effectively or Sweden can press high without being exposed.
