After successfully lodging a complaint over their loss to South Africa, Senegal have the advantage in Group D of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Africa Zone. The pendulum swung their way with the cancellation of the result and they now need just a win to seal top spot. The two nations will have their first leg meeting in South Africa on Friday 10th November with South Africa, who are bottom of the group with four points, still in contention for top spot and qualification to the tournament. South Africa head to the game on an unconvincing run and will especially hope for a better outcome than the disastrous home and away losses to Cape Verde. They came around with a win over Burkina Faso, which gave them a lifeline and they will be hoping for a win here, which would see them rise to second place. South Africa have a win, three losses and a draw but have done slightly well at home, with three wins, a draw and a loss, scoring eight goals and conceding five in the process. They have four wins in their last 10 home matches. In their last 13 World Cup qualifiers, South Africa have seven wins. They have managed three losses in their last 19 World Cup qualifiers at home and are unbeaten in four matches against Senegal. Senegal on the other hand, will be seeking at least a draw to keep them top of the group, or go all out for a win, which will seal their place at the World Cup. They have two wins, two draws and a loss in their last five matches and playing away from home they have a win, three draws and a loss, scoring six, and conceding nine goals. Senegal have six wins in 11 away matches and six draws in 10 World Cup qualifiers away from home. They are unbeaten in seven World Cup qualifying matches and have suffered just one loss in their last 15 World Cup qualifiers. Head to head, the two nations have met five times and each has managed one win with three matches ending in draws.
