Senegal, one of the favorites to qualify for Group A

It was a tough journey for Senegal, before they qualified for the FIFA World Cup, they have to face Egypt. Senegal ended Egypt’s dream of entering the World Cup after they were crowned as champions of Africa.

The African champions will face the hosts Qatar, Ecuador, and the Netherlands for the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. In this group, they are one of the favorites to qualify for the round of 16. The squad of Senegal entered the World Cup with a boosted morale after being underdogs against Egypt. Their game against Egypt came out as a surprise after they defeated Egypt 3-1.

Players like Sadio Mane, Idrissa Gana Gueye, and Kalidou Koulibaly will give additional power for the Lions of Terenga. With these guys, It will not be hard for the Senegal squad to qualify for the next round.

Senegal’s bid for the World Cup title is full of ups and downs. The 2002 World Cup have been the best for the Senegal squad. They managed to reach the quarter finals, but the World Cup 2018 is a far different story. During the 2018 World Cup, the squad was not able to go past the group stage. In other words, their World Cup bid ended with nothing.

The Senegal team always open their two World Cups in a good note and always ended up with a win. Their first game would be against the Netherlands, which will be a tough one. Aside from Senegal, the Netherlands is the other one who is a favorite to pass the group stage.

During the last two World Cup campaigns of the country in the World Cup, they managed to play eight games with three wins, three draws, and two lost games.

Senegal carries high hopes from their continent. It may be an added pressure for the team, but this is also an added motivation for them. Once they reached far in the World Cup, the whole African continent will be proud of them, not just their country.
