Senegal vs Rwanda Prediction (09.09.2023)

On Saturday night, Senegal and Rwanda face off at the Stade Huye as the home team looks to end their African Cup of Nations qualifying campaign on a winning note in Group L.

The Lions of Teranga go into this game on the back of good form of late, as they are unbeaten in eight games, having recorded six wins and two draws. An excellent 4-2 win in Brazil last time out was a rare high-scoring game for Senegal, as five of their previous seven matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Senegal has been simply formidable in qualifying for the African Cup of Nations, as they are unbeaten in their previous 25 qualifiers. They also have a solid recent record in AFCON qualifying, as they are unbeaten in 14 home qualifiers, having recorded an impressive 12 victories.

The visitors head to Senegal on the back of a four-game winless international run, including a draw and three defeats. Their recent games have been low-scoring, as 11 of their last 12 games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Rwanda’s recent results in African Cup of Nations qualifying have been poor, as they are winless in their previous six qualifiers, picking up just three draws and suffering three defeats.

Their recent away form in qualifying has been poor, as they have failed to win any of their previous ten matches on their travels in qualifying for the African Cup of Nations. However, they have claimed draws in their last four away matches in qualifying for the AFCON.

Rwanda’s recent away qualifiers have been close and low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five matches.

Senegal are imperious on home soil, and I am backing the Lions of Teranga to record another victory in this clash.
