Prediction: 2-0
Senegal
Brazil will be aiming to build on a 4-1 win over Guinea when they take on Senegal in yet another friendly on Tuesday evening. The Selecao faced no difficulties in the game against Guinea and they are seen as favourites to win beat the Lions of Teranga as well. Neymar has been ruled out with injury, while all Malcom, Raphael Veiga, and Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
Senegal, meanwhile, played out a 1-1 draw with Benin in their last AFCON qualifier. Since Aliou Cisse should use Tuesday’s friendly to test as many players as possible, we are tempted to put our money on the South American giants. All Gueye, Sakho, Kouyate, Mendy, and Diallo are pushing for a start after they came as substitutes in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin.
Highlighted Player (Kalidou Koulibaly):
Despite being born in Saint-Die-des-Vosges, France on June 20, 1991, Kalidou Koulibaly represents Senegal on the international stage. Koulibaly began his youth career at Saint-Die, but he played for Metz at the start of his career as well.
The left-footed defender continued playing for les Grenats at the senior level and it has to be noted that he made 42 appearances in the league for the club before joining Genk in 2012. In 2014 Koulibaly signed a five-year deal with Napoli for a fee of £6.5 million. In August 2014 the Senegal international made his Champions League debut in a 1-1 draw with Athletic Club.
Kalidou Koulibaly is a tall, quick and physically strong footballer, who is impressive in the air. He is capable of playing as both centre and full back. The Napoli defender made his Senegal debut in September 2015 against Namibia. In 2017 he represented the Lions of Teranga at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Highlighted Team (Brazil):
One of the most decorated teams in world football, Selecao have also been regarded as one of the most attractive and exciting teams with glowing reputation preceding them. Members of the CONMEBOL confederation, Brazil have played their first international in 1914 losing to bitter rivals Argentina with a comfortable 3-0 margin.
Brazil is the most successful nation in the FIFA World Cup with five championship title to their name. However, Selecao failed to advance past the quarter-finals of the last two tournaments last winning their World Cup in 2002. Their last title was the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the star-studded team will be looking to get back to winning ways at this year’s historic Copa America Centenario in the United States.
Legendary Pele is Brazil’s top scorer with 77 goals to his name, while the team’s biggest star of the modern era Barcelona forward Neymar is sitting in fifth place having so far netted 46.
