Senegal opens their World Cup campaign with this tough game against Netherlands after losing their star man Sadio Mane to a serious injury.
The attacker led them to their first Nations Cup trophy at the start of this year and finish second in the Ballon D’or ranking.
He had been expected to help them reach the latter stages of the competition as they did in the 2002 World Cup, but the Africans must try to achieve success without him.
The Netherlands returns to the competition after missing out on the 2018 edition and they will want to show their class in this group.
Facing the African champions in your first game is tough, but Louis van Gaal is one of the finest managers in the world and he will get his players in shape to earn the win.
Senegal still has a strong team without Mane, so we expect them to give their European opponents a tough match in this fixture.
