Senegal vs Netherlands Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 21st November 2022

The spotlight is on Senegal and Netherlands when they meet in the opening round of the World Cup. The upcoming group stage match kicks off at Al Thumama Stadium this coming Monday.

This is the opening match of the World Cup group stage for both Senegal and Netherlands, with both of them still upbeat. They'll fight hard to come out the other end with a good result before facing the other two teams in the group. Netherlands arrive at their next away match as number eight in the FIFA world ranking. Meanwhile, Senegal are looking ahead to the game match as number 18 in the standings.

Senegal are expected by the bookmakers to at least challenge for first place in their group. They would be disappointed to end the tournament after only three matches.

Netherlands are big favourites to top their group and not only that. They are also capable of laying claim to a place in the final, if all the margins work out right.
