Benin – Senegal. Forecast and announcement for the 2025 African Cup of Nations match

On December 30, the match of the 3rd round of the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations will be held at Stade Ibn Batuta, in which the national teams of Benin and Senegal will play. The match will start at 21:00 Kyiv time.

Benin

A few months ago, the team was close to a resounding success – it was possible to get a ticket to the World Championship! Everything was in her hands: she sensationally reached the last round as the leader of the group. But they surprisingly failed in the decisive match itself, losing 0:4 in Nigeria – and in the end became only third!

After that failure, it was not possible to regain consciousness for a long time. And in November they conceded in a friendly match 0:3. And already at the CAN, they did not respond to an early goal by Bongonda, as a result, they conceded to the DR Congo. But in the second round there was a very simple opponent, Botswana. With her and Roche’s only goal scored in the 28th minute, it was enough to finally win.

Senegal

The national team is usually perceived as a regional leader. In general, and in 2025, there were enough confirmations of this status. So, in August, at the African Nations Championship, they only lost to the Moroccans in the semifinals, and then in a penalty shootout. At the same time, they went undefeated in the selection for the World Cup. Moreover, only three times in ten matches were limited to draws – of course, this was enough to go directly to the championship from the first place.

At the current tournament, one of the favorites lost to Botswana. They finished there with a crushing victory over the underdogs with a final score of 3:0. However, later, with the Congolese, they were the first to miss despite their advantage. Yes, then Mane showed himself as a real leader, quickly equalizing the score. But they limited themselves to that, ending only with a 1:1 draw.

Statistics of personal meetings

There were nine fights in total, all starting from 2000. The Senegalese have never lost – on the contrary, with a pair of draws there were seven victories, including in March of last year.
