Guinea vs Senegal Prediction: Guinea on the brink of progression

The champions have had a perfect start to their title defense. Winning their first two games with relative ease. It was a 5-star display from the Champions of Africa, as they looked to assert their dominance with a perfect group stage campaign.  

Here are markets to consider adding to your bet slip…

3 Way – Senegal 4/3

Guinea faces their toughest test so far in this season’s CAF Africa Cup of Nations. They face the defending champions who are yet to drop points in this competition this season. They have a perfect start with two wins from two and they have only conceded one goal. Guinea will be under immense pressure to get a win or at least a draw if they are to progress to the next round. If they lose to Senegal than their fate will be decided by results elsewhere. A Cameroon win will mean that promotion will be down to goal difference.

The last time these two teams met in this competition was in Group B of the 2022 edition of AFCON. That game ended in a goal less draw and Senegal went on to win their competition. this time around things have changed and Senegal are scoring goals for fun. It is easy to see why they have a front three of Ismaila Sarr, Nicolas Jackson, and Sadio Mane. It will be a big ask of any team to keep that trio from scoring.

The odds-on Senegal winning this game are sitting at 4/3 and it would be a huge shock if this result were to go the other way.  

Total Goals – Over 2,5 9/5

Senegal have no loses in their last 6 matches, they have been the first team to score in 5 out of their last 6 matches. They have been very clinal in front of goal creating 6 big chances and scoring 6 goals in the competition so far. They have scored 3 goals in each of their previous games if they are to repeat that. The odds on them scoring more than 2,5 goals in these games is 9/5. 

Anytime Goal Scorer – Sadio Mane 29/10

Sadio Mane has been involved in Senegal’s build up play. Providing an assist against Gambia and a Goal against Cameroon. He is always a goal threat, whether he is creating a goal or finding the back of the net himself. Many thought that playing in the middle east would have taken that edge from him but he has proved to be the Sadio Mane we know and love. The odds on him finding the back of the net against Guinea are sitting at 29/10. A good bet to add as part of your bet slip if you looking to add a goal scorer.
