Cape Verde vs Senegal Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup Qualification - Africa

Prediction published on 05/10/2017, 03:41  by in Football Predictions

Two wins over South Africa, at home and away, have revived Cape Verde chances of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and they will be seeking to go top of Group D with a win over hot shots Senegal, who tour Praia on Saturday 7th October. This will be the first time the two sides face off in Praia and Cape Verde will be hoping to get their first ever win, and goal against Senegal. It is the second ever competitive meeting between the two nations and it comes with high stakes. Hosts Cape Verde head to the game with three wins and two losses in their last five matches. Playing at home has not offered them the best of experiences, save for the win over South Africa in their last home match. They have a win and four losses in their last five home matches, scoring two goals and conceding six. They have eight wins in 17 home matches and six wins in their last 10 World Cup qualifying matches at home. Senegal on the other hand, head to the game on a run of two draws, two wins and a loss in their last five matches. Away from home, they have an unconvincing run – winless in the last four. They have three draws, a loss and one win in their last five away matches, scoring six goals and conceding nine. They have won six of their last 10 away matches and have scored in nine of the last 10 away matches they have played. However, in World Cup qualifying matches, Senegal have managed just two wins in 10 away matches. Head to head, this will be the third meeting between the sides and Senegal have won both the opening matches.
