The match
Talent was there, but Senegal will have failed and history will remember that the Lions of the Teranga will have fallen on penalties in the quarterfinals against the future winner of the edition: Cameroon. But has the Senegalese disappointment been digested? 2 months after the competition, the men of Aliou Cissé will have to find themselves and to leave in the right direction in order to better prepare the deadlines to come, such as qualification for the 2018 World Cup. Only voila: this trip, certainly friendly, Will make in Nigeria, a nation absent during the last CAN but which impresses in recent months. Between Mikel, Iheanacho, Moses, Iwobi, Ndidi, Onazi, Musa, there is talent everywhere, to and all the lines!
Probability points Nigeria Senegal
2 months after its early elimination of the CAN when they seemed quite capable of going to the end, Senegal certainly still blames the blow.
Unrecognized, this nation Nigerianne possesses in its midst a few players of great talent, which will allow them to keep the ball in the midfield: Obi Mikel, Moses, Ndidi, Onazi. Not to mention the strikers, the Super Eagles being now able to line up almost safe values of Premier League!
The Nigerians have won 3 of the last 4 confrontations between the 2 nations, each time by 1 goal of difference for information.
The Nigerians remain on 6 consecutive wins in all competitions.
Nigeria Senegal – Our prediction
The chance of Senegal will be to dispute this meeting on neutral ground, in London, rather than in Nigeria. For the rest, we can only deplore the absence of these Super Eagles this winter at the CAN, as we feel a power that should allow them to win this Friday in this Nigerian formation!
Prediction: Nigeria win
Odds: 2.38
