Senegal vs. Netherlands Preview

Senegal

The Lions of Teranga are maybe the only team from Africa who is the favorite to advance to the knockout stage. And after examining their roster, such a status becomes obvious. They have world-class stars in the lineup, which are indispensable in their clubs. 

Sadio Mane is the biggest name, and Chelsea’s duo, Kalidoou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy are right behind Bayern’s striker. A vast majority of their players appear in top leagues, with the Premiership and Ligue One standing above all others in that aspect. 

Senegal’s previous two friendly games were against Bolivia, 0-2, whom they defeated routinely, and against Iran, 1-1. This team can play both efficient and very defensive-minded football, depending on the situation, and their greatest virtue is physical strength. 

Netherlands

Oranje didn’t lose since the last summer, and in the knockout round once, the Czech Republic beat them 0-2. After that, we saw the three-time World Cup runners-up going for 15 consecutive events without a defeat.

During that stretch, Oranje won 11 times and recorded four ties, but they performed quite confidently, and we need to add that the rivals were top European teams line, Germany, Belgium, Wales, Poland, and Denmark. 

Five of the past eight contests they had were with over 2.5 goals, and six throughout that interval ended with both teams netting. They have an offensive-minded philosophy of play, as they always did, and that’s Oranje’s trademark.

Senegal vs. Netherlands Prediction

We aren’t sure who will win here, even though the bookmakers give much better chances to the Netherlands than Senegal. Simply, we aren’t so sure about Oranje’s triumph here. That’s why over 2.5 goals would be our pick because when Senegal plays with its best players, they know how and when to attack, usually scoring some goals. Meanwhile, Oranje will be offensive right from the start, as they play like that. All this should deliver three or more hits in this clash.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals
