England are set to take on Senegal at the City Ground on Tuesday, 10 June, in a rare home match away from Wembley Stadium.
The Three Lions have won all of their matches under Thomas Tuchel so far, but they have yet to look overly convincing under the German.
Senegal, meanwhile, come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland at the weekend.
As part of this week's round of international friendly betting tips, check out our England vs Senegal prediction below.

England vs Senegal prediction: More of the same for Tuchel's men
Key Stats
- England have won eight of their last nine matches in all competitions.
- Senegal have failed to win each of their last three games away from home.

Correct score prediction: England 2-0 Senegal
There is an argument that Senegal are the best team that England have faced so far under Thomas Tuchel, but the Three Lions should have more than enough quality to beat them comfortably, just as they did as the most recent World Cup in the Round of 16.

Most recent H2Hs: A first meeting since the 2022 World Cup
This match is a repeat of the Round of 16 clash between the two nations at the 2022 World Cup, and England will be hoping for a similar outcome as they ran out as 3-0 winners on that occasion. Prior to their meeting in Qatar, the two nations had never faced each other before on a football pitch.

England preview: Tuchel to mix it up?
Thomas Tuchel is already in the bad books of some England fans due to his persistence in picking Jordan Henderson, who hasn't been a top midfield player for at least five years now. Given this is a friendly match, the German is likely to use the game as an opportunity to look at some of the players who haven't played much for him so far.
Predicted lineup: Henderson (GK), Alexander-Arnold, Colwill, Konsa, Lewis-Skelly, Wharton, Rice, Eze, Gibbs-White, Gordon, Toney

Senegal preview: A chance to continue their unbeaten streak
This match may be a friendly, but Senegal do have a long undefeated streak to protect, so they are likely to go into it with their strongest possible starting XI. It won't be too dissimilar to the one that lined up against Ireland at the weekend, given they walked away with a respectable draw.
Predicted lineup: Mendy (GK), Mendy, Koulibaly, Diallo, Jakobs, Sarr, Gueye, Camara, Sarr, Ndiaye, Jackson

Player to watch: Ivan Toney
Eyebrows were raised when Thomas Tuchel elected to call up Ivan Toney to his England squad for this set of fixtures, and given that the former Brentford man has been playing in the Saudi Pro League for a year now, those concerns are justified. If Toney does get the nod to start the match on Tuesday, then he will need to put in a big performance to justify his selection.
