Senegal vs. Netherlands Tip

Details:

Senegal had a dominant performance in the African qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup. They won 5 out of 6 games in the group stage finishing on top of the group H with 16 points, double as much as Togo who was second. Senegal was the underdog in the decisive matchup against Egypt but managed to go through in the penalty shootout.

Sadio Mane is one of the best players in the world today and he has managed to take his team to the World’s biggest stage after previously winning the African Cup. Bayern Munich’s striker is a type of player that can score against any given opponent and his level gives Senegal chance in this World Cup.

Senegal has lost only 2 games in the last 10 and has been probably the best African team in the last 5 years.

Netherlands is one of the best teams in the past two decades. After surprisingly missing the previous World Cup in Russia, Netherlands is back where they belong. Despite the fact, that there are many young an unexperienced players on the roster, Netherlands is definitely a team that should not be underestimated.

They finished on top of Group G in the European qualifiers with 23 points, two more than Turkey. Netherlands won 7 of 10 games with 2 draws and 1 loss and had an amazing goal differential of +25.

Netherlands has not lost any of the last 13 games and, even though they are not considered among the top contenders in Qatar, they are definitely a “dark horse” candidate to win the competition.

Key facts

• This will be the third World Cup participation for Senegal
• In 2018 in Russia, Senegal finished in 17^th place
• In Qatar, Netherlands will play their 11^th World Cup
• Netherlands have finished as runner-up on three occasions: in 1974, 1978 and 2010

Louis Van Gaal is one of the best coaches in the last decades and will have another chance to lead his team in a big competition. Netherlands is probably not on the same level as they were the last time in the World Cup but the game against Senegal can be a real boost for them. Netherlands will go all-in against Senegal who is also capable of scoring. Under those circumstances, there will be many goals in this game, and I recommend placing a bet on over 2.0 goals Asian handicap.
