The black continent may suffer even more from global health problems than it does anywhere else. This is due to the poorly developed health system. So it was no coincidence that the Africa Cup of 2021 was postponed to the beginning of 2022. Then Cameroon should be ready as hosts to host the tournament.
Qualification is currently underway. 24 teams will take part, so it can hardly be assumed that the favorites will fail in the qualification. Senegal can take a big step towards the finals on Wednesday if they meet Guinea-Bissau at home. With a win, the Teranga Lions have almost booked the ticket.
In the table of group I, two teams buy tickets to Cameroon. Senegal is the big favorite. Congo and Guinea-Bissau are likely to fight for second place. The former Swaziland, which now competes as Eswatini, should have no chance. The odds comparison of the betting base clearly shows that on Wednesday between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau only a prediction of a home win can be made.
The Senegalese are among the big players on the African continent. The big challenge for Aliou Cisse’s team will only be qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, when only five African teams will be part of the game. The match on Wednesday will not be a big challenge, which is why there is no alternative to a tip for a home win between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau.
Senegal:
Senegal started their qualification for the Africa Cup 2022 relaxed and successfully. After two victories over Eswatini and Congo, the Teranga Lions are at the top of the table. Coach Aliou Cisse can already allow himself to bring some new players into the team in order to put the squad on a broader footing.
If the top stars around Kalidou Koulibaly or Sadio Mane fail, then the Senegalese cannot call up their full quality. On the way to the 2022 World Cup, it is therefore important to bring in other leading players. In the last seven games, the Lions have only lost one regular time. However, you have to exclude the matches for the African Nations Cup from this perspective, because only players who are under contract in Africa are allowed to participate.
The friendly match in Morocco in October is basically the only clue to the shape of the Teranga Lions. Aliou Cisse’s team lost 1: 3 in Rabat. Maybe it was a timed wake-up call. But now a completely different game is waiting. Before the kick-off between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau, the odds of the bookmakers tested clearly indicate a win for the home side.
The Senegalese have to complain about some important failures. Saliou Ciss, Ousseynou Ba and Famara Diedhiou will not be there. In addition, with Keita Balde from Sampdoria Genoa and Idrissa Gueye from Paris Saint-Germain, two top performers have canceled. After all, superstar Sadio Mane will be available on Wednesday.
Guinea-Bissau :
Guinea-Bissau can be seen as an aspiring football nation. If we draw a comparison with European football, then Guinea-Bissau may be equated with Iceland, Finland or Albania. The Baciro Cande team has the potential to be a stumbling block, but cannot keep up with the continent’s big teams in the long run.
After all, the wild dogs competed twice in a row at the Africa Cup in 2017 and 2019 and were able to gain important experience there. Still, it will be difficult to manage the participation hat trick, because after two games in the qualification there is a win against Eswatini and a loss against the toughest opponents from the Congo.
Not much can be said about the shape of Guinea-Bissau. After all, there were three wins from the last four games, but twice against Sao Tome and Principe and once against Eswatini, so almost against Andorra and Liechtenstein, if we start the European comparison again. Most recently there was a clear 3-0 defeat in the Congo.
Accordingly, it is almost impossible to make a prediction of a successful match between the wild dogs in the match between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. Coach Baciro Cande almost has his dream squad together. Toni Sa Brito and Eliseu Cassama are missing, but otherwise all legionnaires, who are mainly recruited from Portugal and France, should be at the start.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,40
