Why England Over 2.5 Goals for Panama vs England

Our Panama vs England prediction is England Over 2.5 goals scored. Unless Thomas Tuchel decides to rest Kane and other key starters, Panama are simply not in the same ballpark as the obstacle ahead of them.

England Goalscoring Threat 

England have amassed 9 wins across the last 12 matches while bagging a ridiculous 35 goals. Break down the numbers, and that is an average of 2.9 goals per game. If we zoom in to all games since the start of the year, the Three Lions have outscored their opponents 9 goals to 1.

Panama Recent Form  

Panama’s form since the turn of the year has been nothing to write home about. Out of 9 games, they have won only 2 (L4, D3).

It gets even more interesting because Panama did not lose a single qualification game. But then the friendlies came, and they crumbled against European and other higher-ranked nations.

England Boasts A Better XI

Panama deserves credit for making it this far. But there is a large gap in individual quality and squad depth between these two nations. If England fields a strong lineup, they should spend long spells in Panama's half and create enough clear-cut chances to possibly score three goals.

Verdict

We are backing England to score over 2.5 goals in the Panama vs England match. Our reasoning is that England has a more skilled XI on paper. On top of that, England won Panama 6-1 last time out.
