Senegal vs Netherlands – Betting Tips and Prediction 21st Nov 2022. The Netherlands begin their FIFA World Cup campaign this week as they square off against a strong Senegal team in a pivotal Group A match on Monday at the Al Thumama Stadium. Let’s take a look at the betting tips and predictions for this match which is on 21st Nov 2022.
The current African champions, Senegal, placed first in their group during the World Cup qualification phase. The Lions of Teranga will need to do better to trouble the Dutch after being held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Iran last week.
Conversely, the Netherlands are the favorites to win their group this year after placing first in their group in the World Cup qualification table. The Oranje will be confident going into this game after narrowly defeating Belgium 1-0 in their previous match.
Senegal vs Netherlands – Important Points
The Netherlands will need to adjust to a new opponent this week because they have never faced Senegal in a competitive match. Senegal has won two of its three group-stage matches against European opponents, and they have yet to suffer a loss against one.
In their last eight FIFA World Cup opening games, the Netherlands are undefeated and have won six of those games. The only clean sheet Senegal has ever recorded during the FIFA World Cup was in their opening match against France in 2002, which the Lions won 1-0.
Senegal vs Netherlands – The Prediction
Under Louis van Gaal, the Netherlands has transitioned admirably and is expected to become a title contender. As the team’s leaders, Frenkie de Jong and Virgil van Dijk must perform at their highest level to help their team win this match.
Senegal can be formidable when on their game, but they will need to find someone to take Sadio Mane’s position after he sustained an injury just before the competition began. On paper, the Netherlands is the superior team and is in a superior position coming into this game. In their debut game, we anticipate a victory for the Dutch.
Senegal 1-3 Netherlands
