FIFA World Cup 2022: Senegal vs Netherlands prediction, time, live-streaming details

 FIFA World Cup 2022: Senegal vs Netherlands prediction, time, live-streaming details:

    Netherlands' coach Louis Van Gaal (L) talks with a team official during a Stadium Walk at the Al-          Thumama Stadium in Doha on November 20, 2022, on the eve of the Qatar 2022 World Cup football      match between Senegal and Netherlands. 

                           On November 21, Senegal will face the Netherlands in the third game of the FIFA World Cup 2022. While the Netherlands enter their first World Cup since 2014 in terrific form, the current winners of the Africa Cup of Nations have a powerful defensive unit. Since 2021, when Louis van Gaal came out of retirement and was hired as manager for the third time, the Dutch have gone 15 games without a loss.

                          For Senegal, Sadio Mané was forced to withdraw from the FIFA World Cup 2022 - owing to a fibula injury he incurred against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga earlier in November. Senegal's first-ever Africa Cup of Nations victory and their qualification for Qatar 2022 were secured by Mané's two game-winning penalties against Egypt. Mané's absence in attack leaves a glaring gap.

Teams

The Netherlands

Despite having the highest international scoring average in the Netherlands' lineup, Memphis Depay hasn't played for the team since September because of a hamstring problem. According to Van Gaal, the forward won't play against Senegal. For this game, Denzel Dumfries and Marten de Roon are still questionable starters.

Senegal

With Mané missing, the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Iliman Ndiaye, Krepin Diatta and Bamba Dieng will be fighting for a spot left blank by the Bayern Munich forward. It will be up to winger Ismala Sarr to continue Senegal's recent success, which has been largely attributed to Aliou Cissé’s practical approach to tournament football.
