Senegal and Gambia will meet again in the CAF Africa Cup 1st round at the Stade Charles Konan Banny de Yamoussoukro Stadium, Yamoussoukro Monday, January 15, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Senegal, who won the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time two years ago by beating Egypt in a penalty shootout, are one of the strong candidates to retain their title. This win has taken them to the top of African football, and they certainly don’t want to give up their crown just like that.
Senegal recently picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Niger in a friendly, showing that they are in top form heading into the tournament. This victory maintained their unbeaten record in the last four matches, including one win and one draw in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November 2023.
However, Gambia is not an easy team to beat. They reached the quarter-finals of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, beating Tunisia and Guinea on their way. However, they have lost their last two opening matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which raises questions about their current form.
After the opening match against Gambia, Senegal will face another title candidate, Cameroon. Therefore, winning the opening match is very important for Sadio Mane and his colleagues. Mane, the former Liverpool striker, has postponed his honeymoon with his 18-year-old wife to focus on their title defence.
This match is likely to be a tight affair, with both teams looking to start their campaigns with a win. However, based on their form and track record, Senegal appear to have the edge. They have kept clean sheets in their last four matches, while Gambia have failed to score in their last four matches.
