Senegal vs Madagascar 31.01.2023

Senegal will be looking to secure a place in the CHAN 2023 Finals when they take on surprise packages Madagascar on Tuesday. The Lions of Teranga won topped Group B and proceeded to edge Mauritania 1-0 in the quarterfinals thanks to a first-half penalty converted by Lamine Camara. They will look to add this title to the AFCON title they bagged last year but have to cross this tricky hurdle first.

Little known island of Madagascar have been the most exciting team in this tournament. They have won all their matches thus far despite going into them as underdogs and have scored the most goals of any team. Along the way, they have slain heavyweights like Ghana and Morocco so it wouldn’t be a major surprise if they continue their giant-killing mission here as they seek to win their maiden continental title.

Even though Senegal is favored to sail through to the final, it will not be a walk in the park here. The underdogs will give them all they can possibly handle. We expect a closely contested clash that could yield quite a few goals either way

Main tip: Over 2.5 Goals (go to tip details)
