Expert Betting Tips
Their last two matches have seen Senegal with two victories, scoring three goals without conceding. The Lions of Teranga will feature their second team for this encounter just to focus on their friendly game against Algeria next week. Wydad Casablanca striker Junior Sambou will lead the line with the support of Ibrahim Seck and Sambo Diallo. Jackson, Sadio Mane, Sarr, Gana, Kouyata, Koulibaly, Mendy, and many more won’t feature in this encounter. Obviously, the Lions of Teranga won’t prioritize this encounter, and we expect to see less than two goals here for 1.87.
Rwanda, who lost (0-2) against Mozambique, will try to protect their name and not concede much; however, we can’t see them getting a goal here; bet on BTTS no 1.86.
Regardless of the team set up by Senegal, we still expect them to show class here and earn their coach's respect; bet on Senegal win or draw and under 2.5 goals for 2.20.
Good luck!
