Group A, played Monday, November 21st, 2022
Here is our Senegal v Netherlands tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Netherlands away win. Our confidence in this pick was low relative to other picks.
The Netherlands come into the World Cup on excellent form. They've lost just once in their last 23 games. They have to be favourites to win this group, and are some people's tip to reach the final. On their day they can beat anyone in this tournament.
Senegal are the highest ranked team in Africa. They sailed through qualification, conceding just 4 goals in their 6 group games, before knocking out Egypt on penalties in the qualification knockout stages.
Sadio Mane is out of the World Cup though. Senegal do however have plenty of talent in reserve.
Senegal's strong defence may make this a tough opener for the Netherlands. We're going for a Netherlands win, but we expect both teams to score in this opening game between the two Group A favourites.
