Senegal U20 vs Benin U20 Prediction: Senegal to keep their title hopes alive

In the match for the quarterfinal round of the Total Energy Africa Cup of Nations U20, Senegal U20 will face off against Benin U20. As Senegal U20 absolutely dominated the competition in the group stages, Benin advanced to the quarterfinals despite finishing in second place among the teams that finished in third place.

Senegal will play this match with the goal of winning and moving on to the last four rounds of the 2023 AFCON U20 tournament if they do. Even after being the first team to qualify for the knockout stages of this tournament by winning their first two matches against Nigeria and Mozambique, Senegal still went on to win against Egypt in the third round of matches of the group stages. Yet, in spite of the fact that they are the favorites to win this match, we anticipate that they will display an impressive performance once more as they work to keep up the excellent work they have been doing and secure a victory in this contest.

Benin U20 will enter this match as the second-best team in the tournament, having finished third in the group rankings and having earned two points in Group C. Benin U20 will be the side to beat. Nonetheless, they are massive underdogs in this match, but we cannot underwrite them since we anticipate a different personality from the Benin U20 team in this match. The Benin U20 team had gone into this encounter having failed to win any of their previous six matches, drawing four of them and losing two of them.

We anticipate that Senegal will be able to pick up a victory in this encounter because they are simply too good on both the defensive and offensive ends of the field. Even though Benin U20 has a strong defense, I think they will have a hard time winning this match because their team is not very strong, especially in the attack department.
