Senegal to win
The fact that Senegal is ranked first in Africa by FIFA and 21st worldwide makes the Lions of Teranga a formidable side in this fixture. We don’t think 131st ranked Togo have a chance to win away from home. Home victory is the most probable outcome in this fixture.
Senegal to open the scoring
We are also backing Senegal to open the scoring in this match. Home advantage in Africa is always an intimidating atmosphere for the hosts. Togo must be very outstanding to edge past Senegal’s well-drilled defence. The hosts are in a pole position to open the scoring on matchday.
Few goals expected
We are also tipping fewer than three goals in this fixture. While the hosts are the favourites to get all points, Togo is one of the strongest teams in Group H. The visitors should put in a shift not conceded many goals in the first game of the WC qualifiers.
Match Preview: Senegal Locks Horns with Togo in the First Game of WC Qualifiers
Senegal vs Togo is one of the most anticipated African World Cup qualifiers matches. These teams have a great soccer history in the continent. The question is will Senegal edge out the Sparrowhawks? Our fixture previews examine both sides before the big game.
Senegal
At position 21, Senegal has moved one place up the FIFA list in the last year. The hosts are also the best in Africa based on recent rankings by the football governing body. The Lions of Teranga come to this game with 3W and 2D in the last five games. Moreover, Senegal has a new head coach in Joseph Koto. The manager takes over the Lions of Teranga after a brief stint of 24 games with the U20 where he averaged 1.42 points.
Togo
The Sparrowhawks have moved two places up on the FIFA list and are currently ranked 131st. However, compared to the hosts, Togo hasn’t had a good run in recent games. The visitors come to this match with 1W, 1D and 3L in their last five matches. However, they haven’t been conceding a lot of goals and with an improved defence and a more offensive approach in this fixture, the Sparrowhawks could be a tough prey against the Lions of Teranga.
