France vs Senegal

France – Senegal Prediction

France against Senegal revives memories of the 2002 shock Senegal won. This time France arrive among the favourites, while Senegal aim to prove their generation can trouble the elite.

France humming

Didier Deschamps' side are unbeaten in five — a 3-1 over Colombia, a 2-1 against Brazil, a 3-1 of Azerbaijan, a 4-0 over Ukraine and a 2-2 with Iceland — 2.8 scored and 1.0 conceded. Hugo Ekitike is out with an Achilles injury and William Saliba shook off a back problem; Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele lead a forward line few can contain.

Senegal dangerous, uneven

A mixed run — a 3-2 loss to the USA, a 3-1 over Gambia, a 2-0 of Peru, a 0-3 in the AFCON final to Morocco and a 1-0 over Egypt — 1.6 scored and 1.4 conceded. Sadio Mane leads with Nicolas Jackson and Ismaila Sarr offering pace, and no major absentees in a physical, transition-based side.

Firepower tells

Just one prior meeting, the 2002 upset. The France versus Senegal prediction rests on the gulf in attacking output, with France's depth likely to find a way through.
