The African Nations Championship (Chan) holders Senegal will target a second win in as many matches when they face Congo. This Group D match finds Senegal top of the roster, while Congo are second after unbeaten starts. We have a prediction for the match below.
Senegal’s quest for a second title started with a 1-0 win against Nigeria. Christian Gomis’ strike midway through the second period made all the difference for Senegal on matchday one.
That lifted them from two straight defeats in the run up to this tournament. One more win and the west Africans will book their place in the quarters.
On their part, Congo needed a late equalizer to pick up a point against Sudan. Ekongo Landou spared their blushes with an 86th-minute goal. In stoppage time, Congo thought they had completed the comeback, only for Mankou Nguembete’s goal to be disallowed.
They will be looking to shake off a run of just two wins in their last 10 matches. Five of those 10 ended in defeat, and in two of their last four outings, they failed to score.
This isn’t a run they will be happy to parade, as historically they struggled against Senegal. The two nations have met nine times, and Senegal have never lost.

Our Senegal vs Congo Republic Prediction
Senegal have had a good start to their title defence. Facing a side they’ve dominated in earlier meetings, this will be an opportunity to secure their quarter-final spot. In their three appearances at Chan, Senegal failed to go past the group stage just once, while in the other two they reached at least the semis.
Congo have failed to reach the knockouts twice in their four appearances. This time though, with Nigeria also to come, they are at risk. Our prediction for Senegal v Congo is that Senegal wins the match.
