England come in hot with DWWWW and an eight-game unbeaten streak, so confidence should be high. They are scoring 2.20 goals per match from 15.30 shots, and they keep the ball well at 58% possession. They also concede 1.00 per game, so it’s not all attack. Kane and Bellingham are the big story, with 6 goals each in 6 appearances. England see Over 2.5 goals in 67% of matches, so do they lean into a fast start or manage the game?
