Senegal

Senegal, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 8-0 International Friendlies victory over Kenya.

For Senegal, the goals were scored by Nicolas Jackson (9', 15'), El-Hadji Diouf (12'), Sadio Mané (17', 31', 35'), Ibrahim Mbaye (47') and Cherif Ndiaye (80').

Their more recent scorelines show that things are going according to plan in the Senegal defence. Senegal have been mean at the back, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past 6 games standing at 4. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, of course.

Botswana

In their last fixture, Botswana drew 2-2 in the WC Qualifiers - Africa tie with Guinea.

Abdoul Karim Traoré (19') and Aliou Baldé (35') scored for Guinea.

The stats tell the story, and Botswana have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 11 goals overall. In defence, Botswana have not been doing too well.

🗞️ Team News: Senegal

In our view, Les Lions de la Teranga should opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for the game featuring Edouard Mendy, Antoine Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Moussa Niakhate, Ismail Jakobs, Pape Sarr, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Sadio Mane, H. Mouhamadou Diallo, Iliman Ndiaye and Nicolas Jackson.

📰 Team News: Botswana

There’s a good chance that Zebras seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Kabelo Dambe, Thabo Leinanyane, Mosha Gaolaolwe, Alford Velaphi, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, Segolame Boy, Gape Mohutsiwa, Thabang Sesiny, Lebogang Ditsele, Kabelo Seakanyeng and Tumisang Orebonye.

💡 Prediction

It looks to us like Botswana have a very difficult task ahead of them to score any goals at all against a Senegal outfit who look as if they will have an absolute field day.

We can see a very easy time of it with a 4-0 winning margin (maybe even more) for Senegal by the time that the full-time whistle blows.
