The Selecao returned to winning ways following their dominant display against Guinea. Vinicius Junior, Joelinton, Rodrygo and defender Militao scored as they defeated Guinea (4-1).

After their worst outing in the history of the World Cup, as Croatia knocked them out in the quarterfinals, Brazil were beaten (5-3) on penalties as both Marquinhos and Rodrygo missed from the spot. After their World Cup campaign, Brazil locked horns against the Atlas Lions in Morocco. The game featured a few of their star men and ended in a (2-1) defeat—the South American head here with six uncapped players as interim manager Ramon Menezes shakes up the squad.

The Lions of Teranga became one of the teams to secure a spot in next year’s AFCON Competition after their (1-1) draw against Benin. Senegal have scored a whopping ten goals in their previous four matches and failed to impress in front of goals. The Lion of Teranga had fifteen shots, but only one managed to find the back of the net. It’s very worrisome, especially when you think about their next game against a ruthless Brazil. Sadio Mane has been impressive for his side, with five goals scored so far. Senegal occupies the top spot on the log and are the first team to secure a ticket to the AFCON Tournament in their group.

Expert Betting Tips

Their only meeting ended in a (1-1) share of the spoils in a star-studded matchup. Brazil looked more than organised against Guinea despite being wasteful. The Selecao were not really impressive at the back, and we believe the Lions of Teranga will explore their options here. On the contrary, Senegal looked disconnected in their most recent game. Brazil remains the favourite here but must be wary of the Senegalese frontline that consists of Sane, Jackson and Sarr. We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.10.

No pressure here as both sides will enjoy the game of football; we expect to see more than two goals here for 1.80.

Even though it seems easy for the Selecao on paper, Senegal can’t be underestimated; bet on anyone win and over 2.5 goals for 2.20.

Good luck!
