In one of the matches of the group stage of the African Cup of Nations, the players of the national teams of Malawi and Senegal will clash face to face. Which of the opponents will be able to win in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
Malawi
The Malawi national team looked very nice in attack in the last round against Zimbabwe. She was able to show character and snatched the victory, losing during the meeting (2:1). This allowed the team of nominal hosts to earn three points and qualify for the playoff stage before the final meeting with the Senegalese. The Flames often play open football, allowing them to act similarly to their rivals.
Senegal
The Senegalese team leads its quartet with 4 points. However, she has not yet shown her true strength at the tournament, because she plays very pragmatically and inconspicuously in attack. Cisse's team scored only 1 goal in two rounds, having incredible potential in attack. The Terangi Lions may not get into the playoffs of the tournament at all and finish in third place if they lose to their opponent in the upcoming confrontation. It is in the interests of the team to get down to business from the first minute.
Statistics and figures:
- Senegal is the favorite of the meeting;
- Malawi has 4 defeats in 5 matches;
- Senegal has not lost in regular time for 13 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Senegal.
Forecast
I am sure that Senegal will be able to defeat the opponent in the upcoming meeting with a handicap of at least 1 ball. The Senegalese have a great squad, and this fact will affect the game.
