ENGLAND WILL BE strong favourites to progress as they take on DR Congo in the World Cup round-of-32 today.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are among the favourites to win the tournament and came through Group L with relative ease, earning 4-2 and 2-0 wins over Croatia and Panama, while being held to a 0-0 draw by a well-organised Ghana side.
It was not quite as straightforward for DR Congo in Group K.

The African side surprised many people by securing a 1-1 draw with Portugal in their opening encounter, but were in danger of exiting the competition after a 1-0 loss to Colombia in their second game.
But a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan secured third spot in the group and a place in the knockout stages.
It’s 10 years since England’s shock exit at the hands of Iceland at Euro 2016, and they will be hoping to avoid a similar embarrassment this evening.
