The second round of matches in the group stages features the hosts Qatar taking on Senegal. Senegal is in better form currently, but Qatar will take complete advantage of the home support. Current African champions Senegal, led by Sadio Mane, are one of the favourites to qualify from group A and the Netherlands and will play that way too.
Things To Watch Out For
- Eduard Mendy, Senegal and Chelsea goalkeeper, will be critical to keeping the Qatari attackers at bay. He has been in fine form for his club and country and will bring that experience to the World Cup. He was brilliant in the AFCON.
- Qatar goalkeeper Saad al-Sheeb is the player to watch out for on the other side. He helped his side win the AFC Asian Cup in 2019.
- Qatar winger Almoez Ali was exceptional for his team in the AFC Asian Cup. He scored nine goals for his country, a record for the most significant number of goals in a single Asian Cup. He will be critical for his team to make it to the competition’s knockout stage.
