The Teranga Lions are currently on an unbeaten run and have not lost their last four matches. They are also having a decent campaign for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

As for the Gambians, they have lost their last two games in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Burundi and AFCON hosts Cote d’Ivoire respectively.

Senegal will be without Boulaye Dia and backup goalkeeper Seny Dieng who have been ruled out of the tournament.

Star player Sadio Mane will continue to be a key player up front, while former Chelsea players Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly will play important roles in defence.

The Gambia squad had to make an emergency landing on their flight to Yamoussoukro after players fell asleep due to a lack of oxygen. Gambia coach Tom Saintfiet said his players were still suffering from nausea and headaches a day later.
