Burundi vs Senegal Prediction: We anticipate a more aggressive approach from the Lions of Teranga

On Monday, Burundi will square off against Senegal in their second game of the round at the Bingu Stadium. This game will take place in Malawi on a neutral ground, and the performance will be based on both teams' quality, as there’s nothing like home advantage here.

The Swallows will be desperate to witness the AFCON Championship in Morocco next year following their opening victory over Malawi, but it will be a tough task for a group that consists of Senegal and Burkina Faso. The (2-3) victory against Malawi was one of their numerous games that have produced goals. They are now undefeated over their last four games in all competitions, scoring seven and conceding four. 

Burundi sit comfortably at the top of the log as they are the only side that have won in the group.

The Lions of Teranga began their journey in this competition with a disappointing (1-1) stalemate against Burkina Faso on their ground. It was not an easy game for Senegal as the hosts gave them a run for their money and deserved a point at least. That was not their best display after drawing the first blood and conceding with the last kick of the game. 

Aliou Cisse's men have lost once in full-time over their previous twenty-three games. Senegal finished at the top of their group in their last appearance in this tournament, securing fourteen points from a combined eighteen.

The former African Champions are among the best teams in the continent and head here sky-high in confidence despite failing to defend their title in the previous edition.

The Lions of Teranga have won their last two games against the hosts. Burundi have kept a clean sheet in their previous twenty-two games and head here with a decent performance against Malawi. On the other hand, Senegal march here with a below-par display against Burkina Faso on their ground. This encounter will be played in Malawi, and based on both teams' recent performance, Senegal stand a better chance here. The Lions of Teranga are tipped to win the group, and they’ll be keen to do better this time on neutral ground. 

Burundi are extremely offensive, and we think they’ll score and concede here; bet on BTTS for 2.25.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 1.93.

Good luck!
