Guinea vs Senegal Prediction: We expect the Lions of Teranga to maintain their momentum here

Having displayed an outstanding performance in the tournament thus far, Senegal may opt to rest some of their crucial players in their upcoming match against Guinea at the Stade de Yamoussoukro Stadium on Tuesday. It's noteworthy that the Lions of Teranga have already secured their place in the knockout phase, whereas Guinea will require at least a point to advance to the next stage.

FIFA Ranking: 80th

The National Elephants have won once and drawn a game since the start of their journey here. Guinea head here with a (1-0) victory over Gambia. In a game where they created five big chances and missed all, Guinea were extremely lucky to have secured the maximum points. The result came on the back of a (1-1) stalemate in their opening game against Cameroon.

Guinea have made it out of the group stage in their last two appearances in this competition but need a point to advance to the knockout stage here.

Guinea Starting Lineup: Kone; Conte, Diakhaby, Jeanvier, Sylla; Moriba, Konate; Kamano, Camara, Kante; Bayo

Key Player: Aguibou Camara 

FIFA Ranking: 20th

The Lions of Teranga head here with another excellent performance against Cameroon. Senegal scored more than two goals for the second time in this tournament as they cruised past a tough Indomitable Lions side. The (3-1) victory means Senegal have now won five of their last six games in all competitions. 

The African Champions are among the best in the continent and head here sky-high in confidence after their back-to-back wins. Senegal assume the top spot on the log, and will compete in the knockout stage. 

Senegal Starting Lineup: Mendy, Koulibaly, Niakhate, A. Diallo, Jakobs, Diatta, Gueye, Camara, Ismaila Sarr, H. Diallo, Sadio Mane

Key Player: Sadio Mane

Senegal have won once and drawn a game in their previous two meetings. The Lions of Teranga have found the net six times so far in the competition and have conceded just once. They displayed the symptoms of a champion, scoring three times against a pretty solid Cameroon team. On the other hand, Guinea were wasteful in their recent match against Gambia even though they secured the maximum points. We are not certain if Aliou Cisse will risk his star men in a dead rubber match; however, the goal will be to maintain their unbeaten record in this tournament. Guinea just need to defend well against Senegal, and even if they lose, they might still advance to the next round. This game won’t produce more goals; bet on away win or draw and under 2.5 goals for 1.83.

We expect a total of under 1.5 goals in both halves for 1.79.

A halftime draw might surface here for 1.73.

Good luck!
