This will be the second and the most awaited fixture of group A as they are the favourites to qualify from the group. Both the teams will look for a win off this opening match as this could be a potential qualification fixture.
Their goalscoring genius will lead Senegal from Liverpool Sadio Mane in the attack. He knows quite a bit about his counterpart and ex-Liverpool teammate, Virgil Van Dijk, who will lead the Netherlands at the back. This will undoubtedly be a challenging and exciting match for both teams.

Things to watch out for
- After missing out on the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands will look to fire on all cylinders this time. Their star-studded team consisting of top-quality players from top clubs worldwide will look to combine and help the Netherlands go deep in this World Cup.
- Senegal lifted the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the first time in February this year after defeating Egypt in a penalty shootout. Senegal will look to ride on this success and become the tournament’s dark horse. They defeated Egypt again in the World Cup qualifying fixture as Sadio Mane converted a match-winning penalty to take Senegal into the World Cup.
- The Netherlands has reached the World Cup finals but failed to win each time and finished as runner-up. This time, they have a well-balanced team with Memphis Depay in the attack, Frankie De Jong in the midfield and Van Dijk at the back.
