Senegal Team News

If we look at Senegal’s lineup for this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, it becomes immediately apparent why this team is one of the favorites in the tournament. The goalkeeper is the former Chelsea goalkeeper, now playing for Al Ahli, Edouard Mendy. There are Koulibaly, Sabali, and Ballo-Toure in defense, with Sadio Mane, Nicolas Jackson, and Papa Gueye in offense, making Senegal undoubtedly one of the most lethal teams in the championship.

As expected, the host sailed through the AFCON qualifiers, finishing the group stage where they faced Mozambique, Benin, and Rwanda in the first position. Additionally, Senegal had a final warm-up before the start of the championship against Niger, where the home team’s coach gave an opportunity to most players. Still, some main stars, such as Mane, Sarr, and Gueye, rested in that match to be in the best shape for the start of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Gambia Team News

Unlike today’s opponent, Gambia has a less “high-profile” lineup, considering that most national team players play for mid-tier European clubs. There is no doubt that two of the most well-known players in the squad are defenders Omar Colley, who plays for Besiktas, and Saidy Janko, who has showcased good performances for Young Boys this season.

Gambia qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations as the second-placed team in Group G. In the crucial final match against Congo, Gambia needed a point to secure the second spot in the table. Things didn’t start well as Congo led 2:0 as an away team until the 79th minute when Minteh reduced the deficit to 1:2. However, the real excitement occurred in the 90th minute when Cukaricki’s player Badamosi scored, equalizing the game at 2:2 and securing their place in the final tournament.
