England heavy favourites against DR Congo

England booked their place in the knockout stages with a professional if unconvincing 2-0 victory over Panama, getting back to winning ways after a disappointing goalless draw with Ghana earlier in the group stage. A challenging matchup against Mexico awaits them in the Last 16 should they advance today.

Thomas Tuchel’s side are expected to have far too much quality for DR Congo, with bookmakers making the Three Lions overwhelming favourites to reach the last 16. England have looked dangerous going forward throughout the tournament, while DR Congo have conceded in all three of their World Cup matches despite successfully progressing from the group stage.

Their most recent outing saw them defeat Uzbekistan 3-1 to seal qualification, but stepping up against one of the tournament favourites presents an altogether different challenge.

Why this offer stands out: goals expected in Atlanta

At the time of writing, Paddy Power’s standard price on Over 0.5 Goals is just 1/80, while the best available elsewhere is around 1/14 with bet365, illustrating just how significant this enhancement really is. It’s definitely among the best World Cup betting offers currently out there.

The bookmaker offered exactly the same promotion ahead of England’s final group game against Panama, which proved popular with bettors and has returned for England’s first knockout match.

The statistics also point towards goals in today’s match. The first six Round of 32 fixtures have produced 16 goals, averaging well over two per game, while England are widely expected to score at least a couple themselves against a DR Congo side that has yet to keep a clean sheet in the tournament.
