Our Best Predictions for Senegal vs Equatorial Guinea AFCON 2022 Quarterfinals
Senegal and Equatorial Guinea have met in the AFCON tournament back in 2012. Both teams were in Group A of that tournament and Senegal finished last with zero points. However, currently ranked 20th by FIFA, the Lions of Teranga are the best team in Africa. Their hope of securing a place in the AFCON 2022 semis will depend on how they fare against defensive Equatorial Guinea in this match. Here are the best two picks for this game and analysis by Football Whispers.
Draw at the break @ 9/10 (1.90)
This fixture will not be easy for either side. While the bookies have given Senegal a big edge of around 6.5 points ahead of Equatorial Guinea to win this fixture, the latter have played a highly defensive game. Equatorial Guinea has leaked only one goal and kept three clean sheets in four games played so far. They have not been scoring lots of goals either, having found the net only twice. We expect Senegal to sweat for goals in this game, perhaps more than they have done since the AFCON 2022 started.
Senegal favourites to win @ 11/20 (1.55)
Senegal has the firepower to win this game. While they should find it hard to break down Equatorial Guinea, the Lions of Teranga have the best attackers in this match. They also have a strong defence, having kept four clean sheets, two of which have been victories, in four games so far.

Senegal vs Equatorial Guinea: Quarterfinals Preview, Team News and Lineups
Senegal progressed to this stage with a 2-0 regular time victory over Cape Verde in the knockout stage match. The Lions of Teranga will look to stem their strong showing in the ongoing AFCON with another win. In the last game, Senegal’s 2-0 win was viewed as a smooth sail through given that they played against a ten-man, Cape Verde. The Lions of Teranga had an average ball possession of 63%. They converted two of their four shots on target and blocked five shots. Moreover, Senegal had 10 corners against 1 for Cape Verde and missed three big chances. Nine shots inside Cape Verde’s box against two shots for the opponents means the Lions of Teranga were very offensive in the knockout fixture. We expect another offensive game from Senegal in this quarterfinals match against Equatorial Guinea.
However, things could be a little more difficult for Senegal in this match against a high defensive team in Equatorial Guinea. A barren draw in regular time for Equatorial Guinea in the knockout match showed just how a solid defence could be helpful in the quest for the AFCON trophy.
A 42% ball possession and only one shot on target against Mali in the knockout game is another reason to believe Equatorial Guinea will even be more defensive in this game. They only had two corner kicks against six in the knockout stage match.
Senegal predicted lineup: Mendy, Sarr, Koulibaly, Diallo, Ciss, Pape, Mendy, Idrissa, Dia, Mane and Diedhoiu.
Equatorial Guinea predicted lineup: Owono, Akapo, Orozco, Coco, Ndong, Salvador, Ganet, Machin, Miranda, Bikono and Hanza.
