SENEGAL
Senegal dominated proceedings in their opening match against Zimbabwe but could not find space to hit the back of the net. It was not until the 97th minute that they earned a penalty that was converted by Liverpool star Sadio Mane to give them the win. They have now gone 12 matches unbeaten (Won 9, drawn 3) and look set to maintain this run.
The Lions of Teranga go into this match with a long list of absentees due to COVID 19 and injuries. These include Chelsea FC goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli, and Ismailia Sarr of Watford. Nevertheless, they still have a formidable squad available, led by Liverpool star forward Sadio Mane, Cheikhou Kouyate of Crystal Palace, and Keita Balde of Cagliari in Serie A.
GUINEA
Guinea go into this game knowing that a win could all but secure qualification for the next stage after an opening 1-0 win over Malawi. They face the strongest team in the group Senegal and proceedings are likely to be tougher than in the first game. Nevertheless, Guinea will approach the game positively with the knowledge that they beat Senegal 2-0 the last time the two teams met.
Unlike their opponents, Guinea do not have major illness or injury problems and should have all their stars available for the match. Liverpool’s Naby Keita will lead the midfield while Mohamed Bayo and Jose Kante will lead the attack. The Syli Nationale have kept 2 clean sheets in their last 2 matches, both victories and will be happy to maintain the same trend against their West African counterparts.

OUR SENEGAL – GUINEA TIP
This promises to be a tough test for both teams as each one would want to wrap qualification with a victory here. Senegal go in as slight favorites but they will have to improve their attacking from the first game if they are to get anything in this game. They have the players who can rise to the occasion to help secure victory.
Guinea also need to sharpen their attack as they meet a tougher opponent than in their first game. They will also hope their defense can keep at bay Senegal’s marauding attackers. Nevertheless, we feel that the match will be very tight and the first half will end in a draw.
