Match description
Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. England has more quality, but this is not a match with an easy result. Congo DR is physical, strong in matchups, and won't break just because the opponent has more names. We assume the advantage of England, but more through a patient 1:0 than through full domination. Our prediction is 55% for England, 27% for draw and 18% for Congo DR. Most likely exact score: 1-0. Promotion: England (70% vs 30%). Status: SMALL BET
