England vs Congo DR

England look the likelier winners in 90 minutes, with the edge coming from a big gap in attacking quality (about 2.14 expected goals versus 1.02) and a far superior points record, though the draw still hangs around because this is knockout-style football.

2-1, with 2-0 or 1-1 also realistic if the game swings or stalls in certain phases.

If Congo DR manage to slow the tempo early and England fail to turn pressure into clear chances, the match can drift toward a draw.
