Senegal was not very lucky before the WC because Sadio Mane, the Bayern Munich striker, was injured. He misses the entire World Cup and maybe even the Champions League opening for his club team. Senegal captain Aliou Cisse was hoping to get him back in the last minute, which had been needed as the form has not been the best for a while. on the other hand, the defense has still maintained a good level, even if the opposition has been weak. But keeping a clean sheet in 6 of their last 8 competitive internationals is good regardless. Most recently, it was 1-1 against Iran in a friendly international match played in September, where Senegal barely created anything good in the offensive. Something that could cost them all the points in the opener against the Netherlands. Because the Netherlands have had no trouble finding the nets. With Louis van Gaal as a national team coach, they have scored goals, both in the World Cup qualifiers and the Nations League, which they won for Belgium, Poland and Wales. In the Nations League, there were only victories except away against Poland, when the meeting ended 2-2. Before that, they were very convincing in the WC qualifiers and finished with 4 victories in the last 5 rounds. They won the group with 23 points after 10 competitive matches. In addition to the form being in place, the nation has developed a lot of new stars around the top leagues out in Europe. So the width is starting to look really good. You are therefore not vulnerable when a key player, such as Memphis Depay, is missing. Then there are others like Cody Gakpo and Steven Bergwijn, in top form. In defense, Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk rules and ensures that the nation rarely makes any mistakes. The Netherlands will be hard to break down. Everything points to the Netherlands starting the group stage with a victory.

塞内加尔在世界杯之前并不幸运，因为拜仁慕尼黑的前锋萨迪奥·马内受伤了。他错过了整个世界杯，甚至可能错过了俱乐部的欧冠开幕式。塞内加尔队长阿里乌·西塞希望在最后一分钟让他复出，这是必要的，因为他的状态已经有一段时间没有达到最佳状态了。另一方面，在对手实力较弱的情况下，防守依然保持了不错的水平。但是在最近的8场国际比赛中保持6场零封是很好的。最近的一次是在9月举行的国际友谊赛中，塞内加尔1-1击败伊朗，在那场比赛中，塞内加尔几乎没有在进攻中创造出什么好东西。这可能会让他们在揭幕战对阵荷兰的比赛中失去所有的积分。因为荷兰人很容易就找到了渔网。在路易斯·范加尔(Louis van Gaal)担任国家队教练的情况下，他们在世界杯预选赛和国家联赛中都取得了进球，他们代表比利时、波兰和威尔士赢得了国家联赛的冠军。在国际联赛中，除了客场2-2战胜波兰，其他球队都取得了胜利。在此之前，他们在世界杯预选赛中表现非常令人信服，在最后5轮中取得了4场胜利。经过10场正式比赛，他们以23分小组第一。除了原有的阵容，这个国家还在欧洲顶级联赛中培养了很多新星。宽度看起来很不错。因此，当一个关键球员，如孟斐斯·德佩缺阵时，你不会受到伤害。还有一些人，比如科迪·加波和史蒂文·伯格维恩，他们的状态都很好。在防守端，利物浦球星维吉尔·范迪克统治并确保这个国家很少出错。荷兰将很难瓦解。所有迹象都表明荷兰将以一场胜利开始小组赛。
