We Say

This fixture feels likely to become one of the most competitive international friendlies of the week because both sides possess strong athletic profiles and enough attacking quality to punish mistakes in transition, though Senegal’s greater experience and defensive solidity against top-level opposition may provide a slight advantage in what should be a highly balanced contest.
