Malawi – Senegal Prediction (18-01-2022)

Malawi – Senegal : Preview & Prediction

At the start of the competition, Senegal was considered one of the big favorites of this competition. However, the Teranga Lions are far from convincing after the first two days of the group stage. Despite a first success against Zimbabwe, Aliou Cissé’s team had to wait for the very last second and a penalty from Sadio Mané to get away with the three points (1-0). The Senegalese players then found Guinea, their main competitor for the first place. And they failed to do better than a parity score (0-0). For the moment, Senegal is at the top of this group B, in perfect equality with Guinea. For their last meeting, the Lions of Teranga will not have an easy task against Malawi. Aliou Cissé could, however, count on the returns of Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and Idrissa Gueye, who recently returned to training. Enough to show a completely different face for this meeting.

For its part, Malawi is still in the running to qualify for the final phase of the CAN. After a first defeat against Guinea (1-0), Mario Marinica’s team was able to revive against Zimbabwe. Despite her opponent’s opener, she managed to reverse the trend to take her first three points in this competition (2-1). Even in the event of a defeat against Senegal, Malawi can therefore hope to finish among the best third in the group stage. We will certainly have to rely on this data for Malawi. We do not see the Senegalese players not winning in this last meeting. Especially with the probable returns of several holders. One of the favorites of this CAN will intend to shine and show that he can go for the coronation in a few weeks.
