Senegal vs Netherlands: They are the main favourites in Group A, which also includes the likes of Ecuador and host Qatar. After a strong run in the UEFA Nations League, the Netherlands will go into the tournament in great shape.
The team led by Louis van Gaal made it to the final four of the Nations League by winning their League A group with five wins and a tie in six games against teams like Belgium, Poland, and Wales.
The Netherlands kept their net untouched in the last two victories over Poland and Belgium in September.

We like their chances of a clean sheet here knowing that Senegal will be without their talisman Sadio Mane, who suffered an injury during Bayern Munich’s training recently.
Senegal vs Netherlands – Betting Analysis
The Netherlands looked great in the recent Nations League ties and Senegal are without their main star Sadio Mane, Senegal are generally struggling for goals in big games
Senegal played two friendlies against Bolivia and Iran in September. They beat the Bolivians 2-0 before playing a 1-1 stalemate with Iran.
None of the last four games Senegal played saw three or more goals scored. There is no doubt Aliou Cisse will prepare defensive-minded tactics here. Senegal’s offensive line will mainly rely on Boulaye Dia who has bagged six goals this season for Salernitana in Serie A.
Senegal generally tend to play tight matches in important affairs. They thus went on penalties on both occasions against Egypt, including the goalless draw in the African Cup of Nations final and the 1-1 aggregate score after two legs in the African World Cup playoffs.
The Netherlands are the clear favourites here, especially after what we have seen in their recent Nations League matches against the likes of Poland and Belgium.
Since Sadio Mane won’t feature for Senegal, we like the Netherlands to win to nil even more at the odds of 2.37. You can also go with the Netherlands to win 2-0 at the 7.50 odds.
