Senegal vs Tunisia Prediction & Betting tips
Senegal and Tunisia are one hurdle away from a final place in the Africa Cup. These two countries will meet each other at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo on Sunday evening. The winner of the game can prepare for the final of next Friday.
Senegal:
The Senegalese national team traveled to Egypt with great expectations last month. The expectation was that Senegal – certainly after the elimination of Egypt and Morocco in the eighth finals – would win the Africa Cup. However, it all goes a lot less easily than thought with the Lions of Teranga. Although Senegal is in the semifinals, the team of Aliou Cissé is not really convincing yet. After narrowly beating Uganda in the eighth final (0-1), Senegal only just managed to beat Benin: 1-0 in the quarterfinals.
Against Tunisia, Senegal will have to take a different approach, because otherwise the Lions of Teranga can sometimes go down against the North African country. In the group stage, Senegal already took on Algeria and the game was lost 0-1 to the Senegalese. Tunisia may have less quality than Algeria, but if Senegal plays just like it did against Uganda and Benin then it will be a difficult story. Of all quarter-finalists, Senegal is the only country that never won the African Cup.
Tunisia:
For the first time since 2004, Tunisia is again one of the four best countries in Africa. At the time, Tunisia organized the Africa Cup in its own country and the tournament was even won. Fifteen years later, The Eagles of Carthage smell another final place in the African country tournament, but Senegal still has to settle first. To achieve that, Tunisia will also need the necessary luck on Sunday evening, but luck is not lacking in this tournament. For example, The Eagles of Carthage qualified for the knockout phase by dropping a tie three times in the group stage and then Tunisia was better at taking penalties in the eighth finals than Ghana.
As if the Tunisians were not lucky enough, they also met Madagascar in the quarterfinals, the weakest possible opponent. That also proved to be on the field, because the Tunisians were 3-0 too strong for the islanders. The question is, of course, whether the duel with Madagascar is a good indicator of the duel that Tunisia will face on Sunday-evening against Senegal. The answer seems to be no. Nevertheless, The Eagles of Carthage are certainly not without a chance in the 30 June Stadium, but then Tunisia must play better than it did before at the tournament.
