Senegal vs Zimbabwe Prediction & Betting Tips - AFCON
by Daniel Ngulu | in AFCON Prediction
After all the uncertainty, it seems Zimbabwe will get the clearance to participate in the 2021 AFCON competition, and they start it off with a game against Senegal. Ahead of this game Senegal had two friendly matches planned but those were canceled after a delay in getting the full squad intact. In fact, they just had Ismaila Sarr joining the squad a few days ago after a tug of war with Watford. The best ranked nation in Africa can now focus on actual preparations for the tournament, looking to go one better after losing in the 2019 final. Senegal are unbeaten in six straight games and have won five of them. In their last 11, the only loss has come through post match penalties against South Africa in the Cosafa Cup competition. In their last five AFCON matches, Senegal have four wins and as many clean sheets.
Zimbabwe haven’t done well in the run up to this competition. In their last game, they drew 0-0 with Sudan, a warm up clash and they will perhaps be glad that it ended in a clean sheet. It is their only clean sheet in five matches, and the third time in five matches that they failed to score. In their last 12 matches, Zimbabwe have gone winless, with seven losses in the process. Four times in the last 10 matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals. Meanwhile, in matches played away from home, Zimbabwe have five straight losses and have lost seven of the last 10.

Our Senegal vs Zimbabwe Prediction
To highlight just how far apart these two nations are, Senegal had a win rate of 63% in 2021, while Zimbabwe had 8%. This is the same trend that will be carried here. Zimbabwe have an uphill task, given their run and away from home things haven’t been great. Senegal have been the most dominant in their matches and they rarely fail to score. Here we expect them to control the tempo, with Zimbabwe playing defensively and in this approach, we expect the most goals to be scored in the second half.
