Analysis:
Friday's pivotal Group A match between
Senegal and World Cup hosts Qatar will take place at the Al Thumama Stadium.
Qatar
Qatar utterly failed in their match against Ecuador on Sunday, the tournament's opening match, losing 2-0 to the South American team. Being defeated in their opening match makes Qatar the first host nation in World Cup history.
Senegal
Senegal lost 0-2 to Netherlands in he
opening game. Mane was disqualified from the competition just hours before the
opening ceremony. They only gave up two goals on their way to winning the
Africa Cup of Nations at the beginning of the year, and they allowed just three
goals in their final six games before this tournament.
Prediction
Senegal hopes that controlling possession
and generating enough opportunities would give them the advantage because they
have recently struggled to find their scoring touch.
Pick: Senegal win
