The Lions of Teranga went unbeaten in the African Cup of Nations, winning the trophy for the first time. Senegal is enjoying one of its best spells. They lost just one game this year, a loss which didn’t matter as they beat Egypt on aggregate to reach the group stages of the World Cup.
The Netherlands has been fantastic since the appointment of Louis Van Gaal. After missing out on the FIFA World Cup in 2014, the Netherlands are back with a bang. They are one of the few European teams unbeaten in 2022. The Dutch team has six wins in seven competitive fixtures this year, and most of those wins came against tougher opponents like Belgium.
This is the first meeting between these two sides.
Senegal: DWWWW Netherlands: WWWDW
The Netherlands are one of the best European teams and are tipped by many to go far in this tournament. They have had many good performances this year and should continue in that form. The Netherlands have scored 20 goals in eight games this year. They have also kept two consecutive clean sheets heading into this fixture.
Senegal has been decent, but the Netherlands has too much firepower for the African giants. Senegal is going to be without their star striker Sadio Mane and this automatically reduces any chance they had. For punters looking to bet on football online, backing the Netherlands to win is a good option in this game.
Games involving the Netherlands have always been very productive on both ends. The Netherlands has scored two or more goals six times in eight matches this year. Senegal has also been among the goals this year and is averaging over a goal per game in 2022. Both teams would be looking to get a result here as they are favorites to qualify, and we should see two goals or more in this fixture.
Cody Gakpo has been in very good form for club and country this year. The PSV attacker is expected to start against Senegal, and he carries a lot of threats going forward. With Memphis Depay out, Cody Gakpo is the main man for the Dutch. He has 26 shots on target in 14 league games for PSV Eindhoven and is averaging 1.85 shots on target per game. Backing him to get at least a shot on target is a very valuable option.
Sadio Mane is expected to undergo surgery this month, and he is ruled out of the World Cup for Senegal. Abdou Diallo is also doubtful for the Lions of Teranga. Memphis Depay is back in the Netherlands squad despite struggling with fitness but is expected to start on the bench against Senegal. Denzel Dumfries is doubtful for this clash as he battles a knee injury.
This is the biggest game in Group A, and it has a lot of exciting bet options for punters. You can get the best offers from this match by using our expert betting tips and predictions.
