Here's a breakdown of the two teams and an analysis of how they might match up: Tactical Breakdown: Senegals Approach: Senegal will likely dominate possession and use their athleticism and skill to press high up the pitch. With players like Idrissa Gueye and Kalidou Koulibaly, they will look to control the midfield and break quickly using their speed on the wings. Set pieces will also be a key weapon for Senegal, as they are often very dangerous in aerial duels. With a tall, physical squad, they can cause problems on free kicks and corners. Sudans Approach: Sudan will likely play a more defensive game, setting up with a deep block and trying to frustrate Senegal with compact defensive lines. They may look to absorb pressure and then break quickly on the counter with their few attacking players. Set pieces could be crucial for Sudan as well, as they might look to capitalize on any opportunities in dead-ball situations. Prediction and betting pick 1x2 Senegal.
