Bet Builder Tip For England vs Senegal

As the international calendar prepares to pause for the summer, England host Senegal in a friendly encounter that offers plenty of tactical intrigue and betting opportunities. With Thomas Tuchel’s side seeking to polish their perfect start under new management and the Lions of Teranga aiming to stretch their remarkable unbeaten run, this match at the City Ground delivers a fascinating test of form, structure and resolve.

We’ve assembled a Bet Builder for this one, made up of three well-reasoned selections.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Belgium vs Wales, which has been placed with William Hill:

🏆 Bet Selection 1: England to Win

Although England’s 1-0 victory over Andorra last weekend left many unimpressed, the result still represented a third successive clean-sheet win under Thomas Tuchel. The former Chelsea and PSG boss is laying the groundwork for a more tactically disciplined version of the Three Lions, and his tenure has already delivered victories over Albania, Latvia and Andorra without conceding a goal.

Critics have rightly questioned the lack of attacking sharpness, particularly in the second half against Andorra, but Tuchel’s ability to adapt his team mid-match and grind out results is undeniable. England’s track record at home under the new regime is strong, and with fresh legs expected in the form of Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Anthony Gordon, there’s reason to believe the hosts will show more purpose in their final outing before the summer break.

Meanwhile, Senegal are missing influential figures like Sadio Mané and Pape Matar Sarr, weakening their attacking punch. Their unbeaten run is built on defensive resilience rather than offensive flair, and against a more technically equipped England side on home turf, that might not be enough to get a result. The Lions of Teranga have never beaten England, and that trend is likely to continue here.

🟨 Bet Selection 2: Antoine Mendy to Be Carded

Discipline has been a defining theme of Senegal’s backline success, but when facing technically agile attackers like those England possess, challenges can mount. Antoine Mendy, who operates either as a full-back or on the right side of a back five, is often tasked with dealing with high-intensity pressers and tricky wingers.

Assuming Mendy starts, he is likely to be drawn into individual duels with players like Anthony Gordon or Bukayo Saka – both of whom are known for their pace and directness. Gordon, in particular, forces defenders to make decisions under pressure, often winning fouls in advanced areas. This makes Mendy a prime candidate for a caution, especially if England establish dominance in wide areas early on.

The intensity of England’s press, combined with Senegal’s occasionally aggressive approach when out of possession, makes this selection both plausible and value-driven. With the game being played at a quick pace and international referees not afraid to brandish cards in friendlies, Mendy picking up a booking is a strong possibility.

🚩 Bet Selection 3: Each Team Over 1 Corner in Each Half

This market is often overlooked but offers strong appeal in matches where both sides are expected to contribute offensively, even in spells. England, despite their attacking inconsistencies, regularly rack up corners due to their width and overlapping full-backs, particularly when Trent Alexander-Arnold features.

Senegal, although defensive in shape, do not shy away from pressing forward on the counter. With players like Ismaila Sarr and Nicolas Jackson in the side, they are more than capable of breaking into wide areas and forcing defenders to turn the ball behind. Even in their 1-1 draw with Ireland, the West Africans managed multiple corners, reflecting a tactical willingness to stretch the pitch.

With both teams likely to rotate and provide minutes to energetic, hungry players, the tempo should encourage chances at either end. England’s commitment to width under Tuchel, and Senegal’s threat in transition, gives this selection a solid foundation.
