Congo - Senegal picks, prognosis and odds - Africa Cup of Nations Quali

The first international break in the calendar year 2021 in Africa is all about qualifying for the continental championships, which will take place in Cameroon in January and February 2022. A total of 24 teams will be represented and in November, for example, Senegal bought the ticket for the finals. In the penultimate qualifier, an away game is now on the program - Congo and Senegal face each other in Brazzaville.

The Senegalese lived up to their favorite role in Group I and have won all four games so far. The lead over third-placed Guinea-Bissau is already nine points and Mane & Co can no longer be overtaken.

In addition to Senegal, the Republic of the Congo will most likely buy the second ticket, the hosts are in second place in the table with seven points and could fix the qualification even with a home win. However, the host is considered a relatively clear outsider, the best bookmakers offer odds of up to 4.60 for the home win in Congo vs. Senegal.

Congo - statistics & current form

"Les Diables Rouges" celebrated their greatest triumph in 1972, when they won the title at the Africa Cup in a sensational way back home. A success that could not even begin to be confirmed in the future. At the last two continental championships, the national team of the country with almost five million inhabitants was not even represented.

Qualifications within reach

At least this dry spell should come to an end these days. With two games to go, a four point lead is a comfortable cushion. Caution is advised, however, because the away game in Guinea-Bissau is still on the program at the end. Should there be the expected defeat against Senegal, this will probably be a direct playoff for the last ticket.

With the blatant away weakness of head coach Valdo's team (nine games without a win) a little trembling is announced. To prevent this final, one must hope for help from underdog Eswatini (better known as Swaziland), or a home win against the huge favorites.

Goals are a rarity

After all, the home record is definitely a source of encouragement for the outsider, because a look at the last home games shows only one defeat in nine games. In fairness, however, it must be mentioned that in the games of the African Nations Cup, a caliber like Senegal did not make a guest appearance in Brazzaville.

It is noticeable in general that betting on many goals is not a good option in the Congo. In the last twelve international matches, the tip on the under 2.5 was the right choice eleven times. Accordingly, the betting base offers odds comparison for Congo against Senegal for this forecast only odds of around 1.50.

Senegal - statistics & current form

The sensational success against the then world champion France at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea was the first major highlight of Senegalese football. Subsequently, however, the enormous ambitions could no longer be fulfilled. Senegal was only represented at a final round in Russia in 2018, but had to give up in the preliminary round.

On the way to becoming the best African team

The second World Cup participation in history was the first indication that Senegalese football is on the rise. The development in recent years has been absolutely positive and the team around superstar Sadio Mane only missed their first big title win at the Africa Cup 2019 in Egypt. Senegal lost 1-0 to Algeria in the final.

At the upcoming Africa Cup in Cameroon, head coach Aliou Cisse's team is once again one of the big favorites. Of course, the Liverpool offensive man stands out in Senegal's squad. But in contrast to many other African teams, Senegal also has enormous quality to offer across the board.

Edouard Mendy (Chelsea) is without a doubt one of the best African goalkeepers, the defense with Kalidou Koulibaly and Abdou Diallo has just as enormous qualities as Mane’s attacking colleagues Kreppin Diatta, Ismaila Sarr or Boulaye Dia.

Excellent qualification with just one goal

The enormous class of the Senegalese is underlined by the fact that no other team in the entire Africa Cup qualification has twelve points after four games. Senegal was the only team that already fixed the Africa Cup ticket in 2019 (!).

Especially since African teams often have a hard time in away games, the flawless record is even more impressive. The individual quality is enormous and although it is just a better friendly game for the Cisse-Elf, the head coach does not want to get involved in any experiments and relies on his best squad even in this difficult situation.

A clear favorite role for a guest should always be enjoyed with caution, but when the Congo and Senegal meet, the tip on the guests is definitely justified.

Expected formation of Senegal:

Mendy - Ballo-Toure, Koulibaly, Diallo, Sabaly - Gueye, Mendy - Mane, Kanoute, Sarr - Diatta

Bet base forecast & Congo Congo - Senegal Senegal tip

If you follow African football and the results a little more closely, you will quickly notice that big names do not necessarily mean success. This thesis would speak against the forecast for good odds on the guests on Friday afternoon at the game Congo vs. Senegal.

Free soccer predictions

However, the Teranga Lions have proven in recent years that the national team is one of the best in African football. The enormous individual quality is undisputed, but Senegal also functions convincingly as a team.

Free soccer tips

Despite qualifying early, Aliou Cisse takes this game seriously and lets his best formation come up. The Congo will find no antidote to the pace of Mane, Sarr & Co and the favorite victory is obvious. The bookmaker Interwetten, which we tested, recommends using six units for the tip on the guests in Congo vs. Senegal.
