Head to Head


Senegal have a commanding lead of six victories to one against Benin, including two draws in nine meetings.

Stade de la Licorne in France is the venue for this fixture. 

Senegal Form


Senegal made light work of Gabon in France last weekend, cruising to a three-nil victory. 

Senegal took the lead after 12 minutes of play when a Gabon player scored an own goal and doubled their tally a minute before the halftime break.

Senegal had to wait until the second minute of second-half stoppage time to secure their third goal. 

Before that performance, Senegal dominated their group at the recent AFCON finals, defeating the Gambia 3-0, Cameroon 3-1, and Guinea 2-0 before going out in the round of 16 on penalties 5-4 against the Ivory Coast after the score ended 1-1. 

The Lions of Teranga have registered four victories in their last five fixtures, including one loss. They scored 12 goals and let in two at the back.

Senegal have been in top form lately and will fancy their chances to record another win when they take on Benin, who are winless in their last seven internationals. 

Senegal Team News & Injuries


Head coach Aliou Cisse will likely field the same starting XI that eased past Gabon last weekend. 

Mikayil Faye scored the second goal against Gabon.

Sadio Mane came on as a substitute in the second half and was also on the scoresheet. 

Goalkeepers: Edouard Mendy, Seny Dieng, Mory Diaw
Defenders: Kalidou Koulibaly, Adbou Diallo, Moussa Niakhate, Fode Ballo Toure, Abdoulaye Seck, Ismail Jakobs, Abdoulaye N. Ndiaye, Formose Mendy, Arouna Sangante, Seydou Sano
Midfielders: Idrissa Gana Gueye, Cheikhou Kouyate, Nampalys Mendy, Pathe Ciss, Pape Matar Sarr, Lamine Camara, Dion Lopy, Habib Diarra, Pape Gueye, Mamadou Lamine Camara
Forwards: Sadio Mane, Amara Diouf, Boulaye Dia, Ismalia Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye, Habib Diallo, Nicolas Jackson, Bamba Dieng

Benin Form 


Benin held the lead twice against the Ivory Coast but had to settle for a share of the spoils after the score needed 2-2.

Benin had the perfect start against the Ivory Coast, taking the lead in the eighth minute of the match before their opponents equalised 21 minutes later.

Benin regained their advantage six minutes after the restart, but the Ivory Coast drew level for the second time with a goal after 69 minutes of play. 

Before that result, Benin contested two FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November last year, losing 2-1 against South Africa away from home before drawing 0-0 against Lesotho in Durban. 

The Cheetahs have lost two of their last five matches, including three draws. They netted five goals and conceded seven. 

Benin will be pleased with their efforts against the Africa of Nations champions in their previous fixture, but they need to find a way to blunt the attack of Senegal to have a chance of victory, as they have been scoring freely. Can they do it?

Benin Team News & Injuries


Head coach Gernot Rohr will likely field a similar starting lineup that drew against the Ivory Coast. 

Junior Olaitan scored a brace against the Ivory Coast. 

Goalkeepers: Saturnin Allagbe, Marcel Dandjinou, Serge Obassa
Defenders: Youssouf Assogba, David Kiki, Olivier Verdon, Cedric Hountondji, Yohan Roche, Mohamed Tijani, Rachid Moumini, Rabiou Sankamao, Tamimou Ouorou
Midfielders: Sessi D'Almeida, Matteo Ahlinvi, Dodo Dokou, Imourane Hassane, Lenny Pirringuel, Mariano Ahouangbo
Forwards: Jodel Dossou, Steve Mounie, Charbel Gomez, Andreas Hountondji, Ricardo Prince Dossou, Junior Olaitan, Tosin Aiyegun

Verdict

Senegal is tipped to secure a comfortable win-to-nil victory over Benin with a 2-0 scoreline, as they have been winning regularly and scoring plenty of goals.
