Senegal aim to make a flying start to their AFCON 2025 campaign and given the Zebras’ poor winless run, we predict that Sadio Mane and Co. will do so with a routine 2-0 win. Pape Thiaw’s troops are seen as one of the main favourites to win the tournament in Morocco. The Lions of Teranga have been scoring 2.50 goals per game of late and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at Botswana. Como winger Assane Diao has been ruled out with injury, but Pape Thiaw can count on key players Sadio Mane, Kalidou Koulibaly and Pape Sarr for the opener, which definitely supports our betting angle.
Morena Ramoreboli’s men, on the other hand, have lost 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions, with the team continuously struggling at the back. With Botswana conceding 1.50 goals per game, they are unlikely to upset the star-studded Lions of Teranga at Stade Ibn Batouta. One of the man to watch in the away team will be midfielder Renei Batlokwa, who plays for English lower-league side Maldon & Tiptree.
In each of the previous two meetings between the two sides, Senegal emerged triumphant (3-0, 2-0) and given Botswana’s bad form, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Sadio Mane to score and Senegal to Keep a Clean Sheet.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Tuesday 23 December 2025 at 15:00.
