Senegal Top of Group D
Senegal qualified for the World Cup with ease, going unbeaten in 10 matches. They scored 22 goals and conceded only three which highlights their defensive prowess.
The Lions of Teranga brought that form to AFCON, starting with a 3-0 victory over Botswana. Nicolas Jackson scored twice before Cherif Ndiaye wrapped it up, ending the contest with 28-4 shots and 3.67-0.17 xG.
Pape Thiaw’s side fell behind against DR Congo but managed to turn it around, Sadio Mane equalising in a 1-1 draw. They had 64% possession and 2.01-0.95 xG in Tangier.
The manager commented on the result, saying: "I don’t think inefficiency is a matter of player selection. Of course, you have to be more clinical in front of goal. We will keep working to turn our chances into goals."
Senegal Predicted Line Up & Squad
Senegal (4-2-3-1) Edouard Mendy; Kalidou Koulibaly, Moussa Niakhate, Ismail Jakobs; Idrissa Gueye, Pape Gueye; Ismaila Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye, Sadio Mane; Nicolas Jackson
Pape Thiaw has picked the same starting side but may me tempted to make some changes here.
He commented on 17-year-old PSG forward Ibrahim Mbaye, saying "It's a privilege to have a young player like him who is already showing great things. Now we have to protect him well. He's a gem. We'll do everything to make sure he's in the best possible environment."
