After a narrow win against Zimbabwe, Senegal will be very careful such doesn't happen again as they were not at their best considering the sort of players they have in their team. The Lions of Teranga were awarded a penalty in the dying minutes of the match and Sadio Mane stepped up to slot it home for Senegal. It ended in a 1-0 for them.

It was far from convincing and they will hope that doesn't transpire again when they meet a more defensive Guinea side.

Already qualified for the world cup in Qatar with sixteen points, Senegal are ranked 20th in FIFA ratings, and they're considered as one of the favourites to go on and win this tournament and will be keen to quickly find their rhythm.

Still no traces of their captain Kalidou Koulibaly and goalkeeper Edourd Mendy for this encounter.

Key player: Sadio Mane
