Benin vs Senegal Team Previews

Benin Preview

Benin have a lot more potential than what has been shown to date and we think that they have a good chance of qualifying here. But will they beat Senegal – we doubt it. Their problems in defense are too big to handle one of the strongest attacks on the continent.

Senegal Preview

Senegal have obviously been exceptional in recent years and the main reason has a name – Sadio Mane. The national team was unfortunate to play in the WC without him but he should be back on track now and Senegal definitely look dangerous. They are the main contender to win the AFCON tournament.
