England vs DR Congo odds and tips
England pushed away memories of their drab 0-0 draw with Ghana by beating Panama 2-0 in their final group-stage game. That confirmed top spot and a theoretically easier draw, but DR Congo are no mugs, as proven by their draw with Portugal in their first game of the tournament.
The African nation have Premier League quality, including Newcastle frontman Yoane Wissa, who has already scored three times this tournament.
Best bets
- Best bet 1: England to win, Harry Kane to score & Yoane Wissa to score @ 10.34/1
England are favourites to advance, meaning there is little value in backing the Three Lions as a single bet. Harry Kane and Yoane Wissa already have three goals each at this tournament, and backing both to score again during an England win provides a potentially healthy reward for additional risk. DR Congo’s counter-attacking style could cause problems for England on the break with both Croatia and Ghana having caused issues for England on the break.
- Best bet 2: Nico O’Reilly to be fouled 2+ times @ 17/10
Interestingly, in all three of DR Congo’s group stage matches, the opposition left-back has been fouled at least twice. This bet presumes O’Reilly will start at left-back - the other option is Djed Spence - so check the starting line-up to make sure before placing this wager.
