Senegal vs Guinea match forecast at the African Cup of Nations
Forecast and bet on Senegal – Guinea, statistics, odds. Today at 16:00. Group B leaders Senegal and Guinea will meet in the second round of the Africa Cup. Can the Teranga Lions beat their rivals on January 14 and take the sole lead in their quartet?
The Senegalese squad arrived at the African Cup with a fairly strong squad and are a formidable force for any opponent. But Teranga's lions suffered a lot in their opening game against Zimbabwe – Ally Cissé's side created plenty of chances but the ball just wouldn't find its way into the net. In the last extra minute, Senegal's Sadio Mane converted a penalty to give his side their first three points of the tournament.
Guinea had a less formidable opponent in their opening game at the tournament – Malawi – but also found it hard to play offensively. Kaba Diawar's side opened the scoring near halftime, but could not capitalize on it, playing a more committed defensive game in the second half (1-0). As a result, three points and a second place in the overall standings before the second leg.
Senegal looked very convincing in the opening game on all fronts – the team is equipped with top-class performers, most of whom play in top European leagues. The Teranga Lions are renowned for their attacking brilliance and are capable of engaging any opponent in the tournament.
As for Guinea, the team looked good against Malawi, but we believe that it is too early to compete with such a stellar squad, as Senegal have, "elephants of the nation". Face-to-face matches confirm these words – the Senegalese are more likely to beat their opponents than to give them the win, and there is every reason to believe that they can snatch three points in the end and lead their quartet on their own.
Our prediction is a win for Senegal. How to register with 1xbet have odds of 1.80 on that scoreline
The teams often meet in the open and score a lot of goals. Senegal look incredibly powerful offensively and will constantly stress the opponent's defence. However, the visitors are capable of catching the opposition on the counterattack – the Teranga Lions are not so good at defending as they are at keeping their goal locked. We expect attacking football with high execution.
Our second bet is a total of more than two goals. This bet can be placed for 2.23
