Senegal To Win To Nil

Senegal were amongst the pre-tournament favourites heading into the Africa Cup of Nations and have won both previous meetings with Botswana without conceding. They have won five of their last six and have kept a clean sheet in four of those victories, while Botswana have drawn one and lost four of their last five games.

Nicolas Jackson To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Nicolas Jackson’s game time has been limited this season, but he has scored nine times for club and country since September despite only completing 90 minutes once. He will be eager to make a run at the Golden Boot and could get his campaign off to a flyer.

Lions of Teranga can start with a win

Senegal were amongst the pre-tournament favourites heading into AFCON and they won’t want to come unstuck in an opening game they are 1/5 to win.

They have won their only previous meetings with Botswana, scoring five times without conceding, and something similar looks likely in this Group D contest at Tangier Grand Stadium.

Morena Ramoreboli and his Botswana squad will be hard to break down, but the Zebras are making only their second AFCON appearance and first since 2012 and Senegal should take care of business.

Jackson the key to goal

Nicolas Jackson could be a possible Golden Boot contender if Senegal go deep in Morocco.

Now on loan at Bayern Munich, his game-time remains limited but he has scored nine times for club and country since September despite only completing 90 minutes once. He can get on the scoresheet and help Senegal pick up all three points.
