Saudi Arabia vs Senegal prediction
Georgios Donis is expected to bring about some improvement after a difficult time of it under Roberto Mancini and then Herve Renard for The Green Falcons. They were beaten 2-1 by Ecuador in late-May before a 3-0 hammering of Puerto Rico at the weekend.
They now face a Senegal side that won the CAF Africa Cup of Nations final earlier this year before having that title stripped of them due to their actions of protest in the final against Morocco but Pape Thiaw’s side remain one of the ‘dark horses’ for this summer.
Senegal have a strong side and are always difficult to beat so they have to be viewed as favourites to come out on top with Saudi Arabia likely to throw a punch against The Lions of Teranga.
