Senegal, being the champions of Africa, have been in stellar form prior to the World Cup finals, beating Egypt national team to qualify for the prestigious tournament. Despite losing to the Netherlands national team, they were quite strong defensively, and they frustrated the Dutch for huge periods of the game, but they were let down by two costly mistakes by their star Goalkeeper, Mendy. In this game versus the Qatar national team, they are strong favorites to emerge as winners.

In their next World Cup group A against Senegal, the host nation Qatar will aim for a stronger showing to offer the home crowd something to cheer for.

Enner Valencia scored twice as Ecuador defeated Qatar 2-0 in the opening match of the tournament. Senegal, who also lost 2-0 to the Netherlands in their opening World Cup game, will be their next opponent.

Felix Sanchez, the manager, will have to inspire a comeback and have the Qatar national team put Senegal over the edge. Coming to this match, Qatar have had two losses and a draw in the last 6 games. They hope to revive their hopes as hosts to qualify from the group, despite being the first hosts in history to lose the opening FIFA World Cup match ever.

Expected Qatar's starting lineup for the match against Senegal(3-5-2): Al-Sheeb; Al-Rawi, Khoukhi, A. Hassan; Miguel, Hatem, Al-Haydos, Boudiaf, Ahmed; Afiff, Ali.

Expected Senegal's starting lineup for the second group A Match against Qatar (4-3-3): Edouard Mendy; Sabaly, Koulibaly, Cisse, Jakobs; P. Sarr, Nampalys Mendy, Idrissa Gueye; Ismailia Sarr, Dia, Diatta.

Given that oddsmakers do not anticipate this game to produce a substantial number of goals, the under and both teams not to score wagers are likewise heavily skewed in one direction. However, if given the chance, Senegal might try to score a lot because goal differential might matter if they finish tied with Ecuador in group A in terms of points.

Senegalese marksman Boulaye Dia has performed admirably while on loan at Salernitana, tallying a total of 6 Serie A goals in 14 games. He is the 9/2 favorite to score first (5.50) at Bet365.

Qatar struggled last weekend against the supposedly third-best team in the group; as a result, they might struggle even more this time around against a team with larger names. Senegal hopes that controlling the game and capitalizing on their attacking opportunities would give them the advantage because they have recently struggled to find their scoring touch. This is the first time that Qatar and Senegal are going head-to-head ever, and the Lions of Teranga are clear favorites. In this game against a comparable opponent who can defend, keep the ball, and attack with line-breaking through balls, Qatar is a significant underdog after their loss to Ecuador.

We predict a 2-0 win for Senegal in this match since at their best, the Qataris cannot keep up with them.
