Senegal, the current African champions, kick off their title defense against the Gambian national team. They are heavy favorites, yet on the other side, surprises are quite frequent at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Before Betting on Senegal vs. Gambia
The reigning champions enter the match in excellent form, with just one loss in their last 14 games across various competitions. Their recent friendly against Niger resulted in a 1-0 victory, solidifying their confidence and building up momentum before this meeting.
The Lions of Teranga are currently enjoying an impressive unbeaten streak, triumphing in three out of their last four games while keeping clean sheets in each of these clashes (Niger, Togo, South Sudan and Cameroon). They have faltered just twice in their last 14 AFCON games, both losses occurring against Algeria.
The Gambia had their planned friendly against Morocco canceled, and their last competitive action was during the CAF World Cup qualifiers in November, where they experienced consecutive defeats against Burundi on the road, 3-2, and Cote d’Ivoire at home, 0-2. So, their form isn’t at a high level, to be honest.
They are one of few teams in Africa who play efficient and open football. While it is rare to see two or more goals in matches between two African teams, when Gambia plays things are different. For instance, four of the past five ended like that. Also, their defense is a bit weak, allowing two or more hits in the last four appearances.
