Benin vs Senegal Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

Senegal Heavy Favourites to Win

You might not get rich backing Senegal at -313 to win this Africa Cup of Nations clash although these betting odds imply a 76% chance that the favourites end up winning. Benin are the outsiders at +900 which suggests a low likelihood of winning.

A bet on Senegal with a -1.5 Asian Handicap at -105 means you need them to beat Benin by at least two goals. This is a potential alternative to the 1x2 market and affords you a bigger price in the process.

If you want to back how many goals will be scored, you can get similar odds on Over or Under 2.5 Goals. The Both Teams to Score No wager is -175 and it’s perfect if you anticipate that one side or more will fail to score by the full-time whistle.
