Senegal Form, Squad & Predicted Line Up
Senegal finished top of Group B to qualify for the World Cup, going unbeaten in 10 matches. They scored 22 goals and conceded only three to highlight their defensive prowess.
The Lions of Teranga won AFCON in 2021 and are one of the favourites to take out the title in Morocco. Pape Thiaw has a quality attack that includes Sadio Mane, Ismaila Sarr and Nicolas Jackson.
Two friendlies served as preparation for the tournament, starting with a 2-0 defeat to Brazil. They thrashed Kenya 8-0 in their final warm-up game, Mane hitting a hat-trick and Jackson finding the net twice.

Botswana Form, Squad & Predicted Line Up
Botswana never looked like qualifying for the World Cup, finishing fifth in Group G.
The Zebras have only appeared once at AFCON, in 2012 when they lost all three games. The campaign began with a 1-0 defeat to Ghana and included a 6-1 loss against Guinea.
Morena Ramoreboli’s side have lost four of their last five matches, most recently a 2-1 friendly defeat to Tunisia. His side lack quality and it’s hard to see how they will get out of the group stage.

Verdict
Botswana have never won a game at the Africa Cup of Nations and I don’t expect that to change against Senegal. The Lions of Teranga should control this contest and create a lot of opportunities for Sadio Mane.
