Senegal vs Togo

Senegal Aim to Rebound Against Struggling Togo in World Cup Qualifier

Senegal will be eager to recover from a disappointing run when they face Togo in an upcoming World Cup qualifying clash. Both teams currently sit outside the top two spots in Group B, with Senegal in third and Togo languishing in fourth.

Since parting ways with longtime coach Aliou Cissé, Senegal has struggled for consistency, winning just two of their five qualifiers. Their recent 0-0 draw against group leaders Sudan further dented their hopes, dropping them to third place—two points behind Sudan.

Togo, meanwhile, are in even worse form, winless after five matches. Their last outing saw them squander a lead in a 2-2 draw with Mauritania, salvaged only by a late equalizer from Kevin Denkey. The Sparrowhawks have managed just two wins in their last 11 World Cup qualifiers, and their away record is equally concerning—only two victories in 16 road matches in qualifying campaigns.

When these two sides last met in November 2023, the match ended in a goalless draw. Historically, Senegal has had the upper hand, with one win and two draws in their last three encounters.

With both teams desperate for points, this match could prove crucial in their quest for World Cup qualification. Senegal will be favored, but Togo will hope to defy expectations and turn their fortunes around.
