Africa Cup of Nations: Cape Verde Islands v. Senegal

What will be the match result? (90 Min+Inj)

Cape Verde Islands: Win or Draw

Senegal: Win

 

Current odds:

Cape Verde Islands: Win or Draw: (+120)

Senegal: Win: (-154)

 

Senegal secured their last-16 spot despite scoring just one goal in their three group stage games, that coming from the spot in a late 1-0 win over Zimbabwe. There is more to come from the Lions of Teranga, who’ll look to capitalize on the early exits of the likes of Ghana, Algeria and Nigeria.

Cape Verde progressed with four points from their three games, and they held their own against tournament hosts Cameroon in their final Group A game. However, they have lost their last four meetings with Senegal, conceding seven and scoring none, including a 2-0 defeat last June.

It’s surely only a matter of time before Senegal click into gear and while Cape Verde may frustrate the African heavyweights, Aliou Cisse’s should have what it takes to win this in normal time.
