Guinea vs Senegal: AFCON 2023/24 Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
The atmosphere at Stade Charles Konan Banny de Yamoussoukro is filled with excitement as Guinea faces Senegal in a crucial Group C encounter at the Africa Cup of Nations. Guinea requires only a single point to secure a top-two spot in the group, ensuring qualification for the knockout stage. On the other hand, Senegal, having already confirmed their place in the last 16, must steer clear of a loss to clinch the top spot in the group.
Securing a spot in the AFCON 2023 knockout stages, Senegal claimed a thrilling 3-1 triumph over Cameroon in their second group encounter. Ismaila Sarr’s deflected shot and Habib Diallo’s precise finish provided a comfortable lead for the reigning African champions. Although Jean-Charles Castelletto’s late goal for Cameroon added pressure, Sadio Mane’s 95th-minute goal secured a 3-1 victory for Aliou Cisse’s team, ensuring six points from two matches and qualification for the round of 16. Senegal, unbeaten in their last six matches, aims to maintain this record in their final group game, seeking to secure the top spot for a potentially favorable matchup in the next round. Cisse, recovering from a gastric infection, anticipates another strong performance from his squad.
Guinea cannot afford to be complacent as they approach a crucial qualification battle on Tuesday. Aguibou Camara’s 69th-minute goal secured a 1-0 victory over Gambia, placing Kaba Diawara’s team in control with four points from two games. Guinea’s destiny is in their hands, needing just one point in the final group match to secure a top-two position and advance to the knockout stages. However, defeat would necessitate relying on Cameroon dropping points or achieving a superior goal difference if both teams finish with four points. Notably, Guinea and Senegal drew in the previous AFCON, and the National Elephants aim to replicate that result against the reigning champions on Tuesday.
