Tshepo’s picks

One of the enticing Russia 2018 Fifa World Cup warmup matches sees England and Nigeria battling it out at Wembley tonight as they try to fine-tune their squads ahead of the tournament.

The Africans head into this game having being held to a 1-1 draw by DR Congo earlier this week. Gernot Rohr’s team will certainly be hoping for a better performance when they take on England with the likes of Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho all key players expected to play a big role.

The Three Lions, meanwhile, will be eager to please their fans and not lose in front of their home supporters. The team will be led by Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane up front, who was the second top scorer this season with 30 goals.

The last time the two nations met was at the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan and the game ended in a goalless stalemate. I think this one will also be a draw. Pool name: S6 V3 P2 M1: Austria v Germany.
