Senegal vs Equatorial Guinea Predictions

• Senegal haven’t conceded at the tournament so far
• Under 1.5 goals has landed in all of Equatorial Guinea’s matches
• Senegal won to nil in the last two meetings between the pair

Talisman missing for Senegal

Senegal eased into the last eight of the Africa Cup of Nations with a 2-0 win over Congo, but that victory saw them lose Sadio Mane to injury. The Liverpool forward is likely to miss out for this clash, leaving one of the tournament favourites with a tough game in prospect.

Equatorial Guinea edged out Mali on penalties in the last round and they were also partly responsible for Algeria’s early exit from Cameroon. They may come into this one as underdogs, but they’re expected to put up a fight.

Tense clash in Yaounde

Senegal haven’t really got going at this tournament to date, drawing two of their three group stage clashes. However, they have enough quality to be considered serious contenders and the presence of Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy could make the difference.

Senegal haven’t conceded in Cameroon so far, while their opponents have seen just three goals scored in total across their four matches at this tournament. Given that Equatorial Guinea lost to nil in their last two clashes with Senegal, we’re backing the underdogs to fall short in this one. With Senegal’s defensive record and the absence of Mane considered, back a win to nil and a narrow 1-0 final score.
