Senegal
2022 AFCON champions and one of Africa's best. A stunning 73.2% win rate (30W-9D-2L) and just 0.44 goals conceded per game make Senegal a formidable defensive unit.

Strengths
73.2% win rate — fourth best of all qualified teams. Just 2 losses in 41 matches. Incredible defensive record (0.44 conceded). Sadio Mané (8 goals) still influential. Strong AFCON and qualifying performances.
Weaknesses
Drawn with France and Norway in Group I — the group of death. 2.05 goals per game is good but needs to be better against elite defences. Depth beyond the starting XI may be tested.
Key Players
Sadio Mané (8 goals), Kalidou Koulibaly, Ismaïla Sarr, Édouard Mendy
Our Prediction
Group I is brutal. Will battle Norway for 2nd place behind France. Capable of progressing but it'll be tight.
