Senegal vs South Sudan Predictions

This should be a straightforward victory for Senegal on home soil. I am backing them to win to nil with over 3.5 goals in the match.

Head to Head

These two sides have never met previously.

Senegal Form

Senegal are favourites to progress from their group and should have little problem at home in their opener. They come into this qualification process as African champions and will fancy themselves to qualify for the next World Cup.

In June this year, Senegal beat Brazil 4-2 in a superb game. They followed it with a 1-1 home draw against Rwanda in AFCON qualification.

Senegal then lost 1-0 at home to Algeria in a friendly with neither side near full strength. In their last match, Senegal beat Cameroon 1-0 at home.

Senegal Injuries

Senegal have a very strong squad including Sadio Mane. They are likely to feature their strongest side to not risk dropping any points at home.

South Sudan Form

South Sudan have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions. Their solitary victory came in a 1-0 success against Kenya in their last match.

Before that South Sudan were hampered 3-0 by Egypt and 4-0 by Mali. Defensively South Sudan have been found wanting against stronger sides and scoring goals has also been a problem.

South Sudan Injuries & Team News

South Sudan have little to speak of in terms of big names. They will sit back and try to counter against Senegal, something that is likely to fail.

Verdict

Senegal v South Sudan

I am backing Senegal to win with more than 3.5 goals in the match.
