This is one of the most evenly matched of all the games we have prepared World Cup 2022 predictions as both teams are of a similar level. Below, we will also tell you which are the platforms with the most attractive odds to bet on Qatar vs Senegal. Be sure to check out our stats, background and possible line-ups.

⚽ Qatar National Team

It is no secret to anyone that Qatar is at risk of being the worst host in World Cup history. You only have to look at their FIFA ranking (50th) to get an idea of the level of this team.

👟 How Did Qatar Qualify?

Qatar is the host of the 2022 World Cup, which means that they qualified automatically. Until now they had never been able to qualify through the play-offs.

🔝 Qatar Players to Follow

Another aspect that explains why Qatar could suffer in their quest to advance in turn is that they have no footballers playing abroad. On average, their players are 26.8 years old.

Let's look at some of Qatar's top players:

• Ahmed Alaaeldin (Al-Gharafa)
• Hasan Al-Haydos (Al-Sadd)
• Akram Afif (Al-Sadd)
• Abdelkarim Hassan (Al-Sadd)
• Almoez Ali (Al-Duhail)

The Qatari team will be able to rely on the experience of 2 of their most important players. Al-Haydos is already the player with the most appearances for the national team, while Almoez is one of their top scorers.

⚽ Senegal National Team

It is not uncommon for an African team to be one of the surprises of the World Cup. In this edition, Senegal is expected to be the one to do so. They are 18th in the FIFA rankings and are coming off the back of winning the Africa Cup of Nations.

👟 How Did Senegal Qualify?

Senegal was one of the teams that came closest to missing out on the World Cup. The CAF qualifiers were the most evenly matched due to the high level of several African teams.

As usual, Senegal kicked off the qualifiers in the second round. They had no problems winning Group H thanks to their 5 wins in 6 matches (plus 1 draw). The second placed team was 8 points behind.

Everything got complicated in the 3rd round, when they played a round-robin tie against Egypt. Salah's team won the first leg 1-0. Senegal won the second leg 1-0 to take the tie to a penalty shoot-out. There they took advantage of their opponents' mistakes to qualify for Qatar.

🔝 Senegal Players to Watch

Although Senegal's national team has some of the best players in European football, most of them are limited to mid-level squads. The average age of their players is 25.8 years.

Let's take a look at some of Senegal's most important players:

• Moussa Niakhaté (Nottingham Forest)
• Sadio Mané (Bayern Munich)
• Ismaïla Sarr (Watford)
• Kalidou Koulibaly (Chelsea)
• Abdou Diallo (Leipzig)

The weight of this selection rests with Sadio Mané. After all, he is the player with the most goals in Senegal's history, as well as one of the most appearances.

💸 Statistics for Qatar Senegal Predictions

Our Qatar vs Senegal predictions give the Senegalese as the clear favourite. They are simply the more experienced team with more quality players between the two in this match.

Not clear? Check out these facts:

• While Senegal have players who play for Bayern Munich and Chelsea, Qatar have players who have never left the country. This lack of international experience can make all the difference.
• Senegal is a team that knows how to play well at the World Cup. In 2002 they reached the quarter-finals and in 2018 they lost in the group stage simply because they received more yellow cards than Japan.
• Qatar played 7 friendly matches to prepare for the World Cup with 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. However, the only match they lost was 0-2 to Canada, the only team they played against that will be in the World Cup.

As you can see, Senegal is a team with a lot of potential and could be one of the biggest surprises at the 2022 World Cup. Qatar, on the other hand, seem to be way above their real class.
