Senegal vs Mauritania Predictions

Senegal needs to secure the three points in this game and I think they will eventually. I do foresee this being quite tight, but the visitors lack attacking threat. A win to nil is backed for Senegal.

Senegal have won their last 3 World Cup qualifiers.
Senegal have kept 2 clean sheets in their last 3 matches.
Mauritania have kept 5 clean sheets in a row.
Mauritania have won 1 match in their last 9 World Cup qualifiers.

Head to Head

In June 2024, Senegal beat Mauritania 1-0 away from home.

Senegal Form

Senegal are unbeaten in Group B of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, winning six along with three draws. They are on 21 points, two ahead of DR Congo.

Victory in this final game will see Senegal through to the World Cup next year while a draw is also likely enough. Defeat coupled with a DR Congo victory would see Senegal go to the playoffs.

In September, Senegal beat Sudan 2-0 at home before winning a crucial fixture 3-2 away to DR Congo. That put them at the top and last week, Senegal maintained that position with a dominate 5-0 victory against South Sudan.

Mauritania Form

Mauritania cannot qualify for the FIFA World Cup and were never really expected to challenge. They have got seven points from nine matches with four draws and one win.

In September, Mauritania defeated Togo 2-0 at home in what was a very impressive result. A few days later they were held to a 0-0 draw by South Sudan. Last week, the same result occurred with Sudan drawing 0-0 against Mauritania.

While results have been far from perfect, if the last three World Cup qualifiers have seen Mauritania keep three clean sheets. You can go two games further back in the African Nations Championship where Mauritania also kept two clean sheets.

Senegal v Mauritania

Senegal are backed to win to nil with a 2-0 scoreline.
