• Senegal (Les Lions de la Téranga):

  • The reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions (2021) and one of the strongest teams on the continent.

  • Boasts world-class stars like Sadio Mané (Al Nassr), Édouard Mendy (Al-Ahli), Kalidou Koulibaly (Al-Hilal), and Pape Matar Sarr (Tottenham).

What to Expect in a Matchup

• Style of Play: The game would almost certainly be a case of attack vs. defense. Senegal would control possession and press high, while Sudan would sit deep in a compact block, looking to frustrate their opponents and hit on the counter-attack or from set-pieces.

• Key Battle: Senegal's prolific attackers trying to break down Sudan's organized and low defensive block.

• Prediction: On paper, Senegal are overwhelming favorites. They have superior quality in every position. The main question is whether they can convert their chances. A draw, like in the 2021 AFCON, would be considered a monumental result for Sudan
