Tonight, the first round of the African Cup of Nations will continue with some good games, in which the favorite Senegal will face Gambia in Group C. Although Senegal is much stronger than Gambia, the home team is too hot to buy, and as the defending champion, they will be targeted. Although Senegal's strength is far better than Gambia, the home team is too hot to buy, and as the defending champion will be the target, even if they win, it won't be easy, and they emphasize on defense, so I'd like to see them score 2.5 goals. (Now 638 Monday night at 10pm)
Senegal beat Egypt by 12 yards in the last final and won the African Cup of Nations for the first time. This year, Senegal also has a strong squad, including Shadiovanni, Ghoulibani, Nicholas Jackson, Izou Sagour and Ismaila Shaya. However, it should be noted that Shadiovanni and Ghoulibani have already gone to Saudi Arabia, where the standard of the team is lower, so there are signs of a downward trend, while Nicholas Jackson is known as a loser at Chek Lap Kok and is not very trustworthy. Moreover, the pressure on the defending champions is not easy, as other teams are aiming to catch up with them, such as the former allies Algeria, who finished last in the last group stage, so the Senegalese army won't have an easy road to defend their title. Senegal has 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in their last 5 matches, 4 of which were by 2 goals or less. This shows that they value defense, and they won't dare to slack off when they meet the weak Gambia team, so it's better to bet on the underdogs than the hosts.
