South Sudan vs Senegal Prediction
South Sudan have endured a very difficult qualifying campaign in what has been a tough group, albeit they have often made themselves difficult to play against, as four draws would represent. They most recently shared a goalless draw with Mauritania in their most recent outing last month.
They now face a Senegal side that have been one of the strongest teams in Africa for quite some time now, but it is perhaps the last international cycle for a lot of their golden generation with a new era coming through. The Senegalese, under the management of Aliou Cisse, have been typically stubborn.
Senegal often grind their way to victory in the rough and tumble of African international football and they should take a step closer to qualification with another win this week.
