Senegal enters this match fueled by frustration after Sadio Mané insisted they were robbed of a win against DR Congo. Sitting atop Group D with 4 points, they need victory to avoid any last-day drama and rely on their historical edge over Benin, having won the last five encounters.

Benin, with 3 points, eyes a shock upset to clinch a knockout spot, bringing underdog fire to Tangier. However, the odds tell the story: Senegal is a heavy favorite at 1.28, while Benin offers a massive payout at 11.18 and the draw at 5.18.

For a profitable bet, Senegal's quality and motivation make them the smart choice, despite the low return. Benin's chances are slim given the history and Senegal's determination to assert dominance.

Senegal enters this match as the clear favorite, with odds of 1.28, reflecting their dominance in African football and a perfect record against Benin in recent encounters. The Lions of Teranga have shown resilience despite Sadio Mané's frustration over their draw with DR Congo, maintaining top spot in Group D with 4 points. Their +3 goal difference underscores their attacking efficiency and defensive solidity, which should give them an edge in this high-stakes clash.

Benin, on the other hand, has been inconsistent, earning 3 points through a win and a loss. While they are motivated to secure a knockout berth, their odds of 11.18 highlight their underdog status. History is not on their side, having lost their last five meetings with Senegal, including a narrow 1-0 defeat earlier this year. Though their fighting spirit might appeal to risk-takers, betting on Benin seems like a long shot at best.

The draw option, priced at 5.18, could tempt bettors given the unpredictable nature of tournament football. However, Senegal’s urgency to avoid complications in advancing makes a victory more likely. Expect Senegal to leverage their superior quality and experience to secure three points, even if it’s a hard-fought win.
