Encounter between Senegal and Republic of the Congo is looking to be one of those affairs where form flies out the window. Starting
Senegal’s been hot and cold, their performances swinging from inspired to questionable. Meanwhile, Republic of the Congo’s scrapping through a slump, their backline looking unstable.
Looking at past meetings, it’s a crapshoot. Senegal’s had the advantage lately, but the game’s got a terrible memory.
Personal take: Both outfits’ve got issues. Senegal’s midfield’s stuttering, while Republic of the Congo’s frontline needs a spark.
When it comes to the African Nations Championship, this fixture carries greater importance. The league’s battle for European places means every point matters, and both teams know a statement win here could change narratives in the table. How they’ve fared lately in the African Nations Championship suggests neither side can afford slip-ups, making this tie even more unmissable.
Still, there’s a vibe about this one—who knows, it’s the fixture where a player steps up.
