England v Congo DR : World Cup match betting preview, prediction and odds

Wed 1st Jul, 17:00 BST, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta

Congo DR are away from home on Wednesday evening, as manager Sébastien Desabre takes his side to visit England and Thomas Tuchel at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the World Cup. This preview has odds from leading bookmakers for seventeen different betting markets, alongside supporting data that updates as you go through them. Our predictions are based on 20-game form, so all stats are shown for each side's last 20 too. Home vs away and overall performance can be explored, while there's also head-to-head history a little further down the page.

Best Tip: England to win

As the stadium fills and the England players ready themselves for this clash, the bookies have predicted a win for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium has not been a successful away day for Congo DR in the past, and we expect more of the same come Wednesday evening. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think England are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 76% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.27.
