Double chance : England or draw

England come into this World Cup match in decent shape. They have won two of their last five games, including a clean 2-0 victory in their most recent outing. While they did have a tough loss in between, they also managed a draw, showing they can be hard to beat. On the other hand, Congo DR have been struggling lately, losing their last two matches without scoring a goal. Their only positive result in recent games was a draw.

Given England's stronger recent form and ability to score, while Congo DR have been having a tough time finding the net, this match looks like it will be controlled by England. England should win this game.
