Senegal vs Gambia Prediction Match Details
Reigning African Cup of Nations Champions Senegal begins its battle for their title defence race as they play against Gambia at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium on Monday.
Senegal Preview & Form
Senegal will be participating in the continental competition for the fifth year, and they are among the huge favourites for the tournament as they have just lost once in their last 12 AFCON matches.
Senegal enters the race to retain their cup with an impressive run of form in their last four matches with an unbeaten record. In their last outing, they played a friendly match against Niger, where they scored late goals to see the scoreline end at 1-0.
The Lions of Teranga have been impressive at their defence, as they have kept straight clean sheets in their last four matches.
Gambia Preview & Form
Gambia are making their second appearance at the AFCON, as the Scorpions’ journey at the preliminary qualification stage of the AFCON competition sees them finish as runners-up to Mali in Group G above Congo and South Sudan.
The Scorpions come into the tournament in poor form, as they are on a two-match losing streak. Their last outing ended with a 2-0 defeat to the Ivory Coast team, and they will be looking to shake up their recent performance.
Gambia have been excellent when scoring goals, as they have scored at least two goals in three of their last four matches. Tom Saintfiet’s side will look to embrace their scoring opportunities as they go head-to-head with the Senegal team.
Key Player to Watch
Sadio Mane is a key player for the Lions of Teranga, as he has scored six goals and two assists in his last eight international matches.
Senegal vs Gambia Betting Tips
The Lions of Teranga are currently on a four-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, securing three wins and maintaining clean sheets in all of these matches. The head-to-head in their last two encounters against Gambia have ended with Senegal winning all. We believe Senegal will outshine Gambia and get all three points to go to the top of Group C.
