Qatar vs Senegal preview
For a game 10 years in the making, Qatari fans will be wishing that their opening match against Ecuador never happened. In truth, they offered little quality going forward and failed to muster a shot on target although the second half showed some improvement. After the disappointing result, the hosts realistically need to win this fixture as no one will expect them to defeat a strong Netherlands side in their third group game. Despite the defeat, Felix Sanchez’s side should now be used to the eyes of the world being on them and can build on a steady second period.
Senegal also drew a blank in their opening loss to the Netherlands, but they managed to keep the Oranje at bay for 80 minutes until Cody Gakpo managed to finally breach their defense. Fans of the Lions of Teranga will be especially worried about goalkeeper Edouard Mendy’s performance. Usually one of the stars of the team, the Chelsea player could have done better for both of the goals his team conceded. They did at least prove they have no problems fashioning chances taking 15 shots (more than the Netherlands) but without captain and star forward Sadio Mane, they couldn’t convert them.
With both teams desperate for three points, and looking to avoid an early exit, the Qatar vs Senegal live stream is one to definitely tune in to.
Qatar vs Senegal team news
Qatar forward Ahmed Alaaeldin wasn’t able to return to full fitness in time for the opener and he misses out again. Akram Afif is still the first name on the team sheet up front, but will need to be careful after picking up a yellow card against Ecuador.
After Sadio Mane’s withdrawal from the squad, Aliou Cisse called up Moussa Ndiaye to the squad but the young fullback has never been capped for the national team and doesn't make the starting XI. Cheikou Kouyate went off injured against the Netherlands and misses this match. Kalidou Koulibaly of course starts and despite his shaky performance, Edouard Mendy keeps his place.
Qatar: Barsham, Miguel, Hassan, Mohamad, Al-Haydos, Afif, Boudiaf, Ahmed, Madibo, Khoukhi, Ali.
Senegal: Mendy, Sabaly, Koulibaly, Diallo, Mendy, Diedhiou, Gueye, Jakobs, Diatta, Sarr, Dia.
