Africa Cup of Nations Betting Preview: Senegal vs Botswana

Senegal square off against Botswana in this Africa Cup of Nations Group D clash at Stade Ibn-Batouta, with kick-off set for 11:00 on Tuesday 23 December.

We’re expecting Senegal to enjoy a big win against Botswana. Backing the Lions of Teranga at -1.75 at odds of -125 means that we split our Asian Handicap stake equally between -1.5 and -2.0. A three-goal margin of victory lands a full payout.

Senegal won their previous game 4–0 at home against Mauritania in a World Cup qualifier at Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade, with Sadio Mané (2), Iliman Ndiaye and Habib Diallo on the scoresheet.

Botswana played out a 2–2 World Cup qualifying draw away to Guinea in their previous game, with Abdoul Traoré and Aliou Baldé finding the net for the Zebras.
