Senegal vs Niger Preview

Senegal should be far too good for Niger as they prepare to defend their Africa Cup of Nations crown. I’m backing Senegal to win to nil with the match seeing under 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

These sides have not met in recent times.

Senegal Form

Senegal last played in November 2023 in a World Cup qualifier that they drew 0-0 in Togo. Having already secured qualification though, Senegal had little motivation to win the game.

Prior to that, Senegal beat Cameroon 1-0 at home in a friendly and also defeated South Sudan 4-0 at in their penultimate World Cup qualifier.

Senegal Injuries & Team News

This is Senegal’s only game before they begin their defence of the AFCON title so are likely to field as close to full-strength a side as they can muster.

Niger Form

Niger have not qualified for this years AFCON so this is their only game until June this year when they resume World Cup qualification.

Over their last three matches, Niger have managed a 1-1 draw in Libya and beat Zambia 2-1 in a World Cup qualifier in their last game. Mixed between those two results, Niger lost 1-0 at home to Tanzania.

Niger Injuries & Team News

The focus for Niger will be on World Cup qualification later in the year so they may try a few new combinations in this clash.

Verdict

Senegal v Niger

I am backing Senegal to win to nil with a 2-0 scoreline.
