Saudi Arabia v Senegal Prediction: Lions of Teranga 6/4 to record shutout success

Saudi Arabia and Senegal will look to fine-tune their preparations for the 2026 World Cup when the two teams meet at Toyota Field in Texas on Wednesday.

The two squads are acclimatising to the conditions in the USA ahead of the tournament's first fixture on Thursday.

Saudi Arabia do not play their first game until June 15th, while Senegal are in action a day later.

The Green One have been placed in Group H alongside Spain, Cape Verde and Uruguay, while Senegal have to overcome France, Iraq and Norway if they want to progress out of Group I.

Saudi Arabia have played two friendlies already in the build-up to the World Cup, while Wednesday's meeting will be Senegal's second in the USA.

Saudi Arabia v Senegal Prediction

Best Bet: Senegal to win to nil @ 13/8

Senegal have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, with their last two matches containing at least four goals.

They were beaten 3-2 by the USA at the end of May, but they should be able to return to winning ways this week.

Pape Thiaw's team have only lost two of their last 11 games, and they breezed through qualifying, securing 24 points from 10 matches.

Saudi Arabia finished second in the second round of qualifying to Jordan, before finishing third behind Japan and Australia in the third round of qualifiers.

The Arabian Falcons only scored seven goals in their final 10 qualifiers, some 23 fewer than Japan.

In the fourth round, they did just enough to finish above Iraq and Indonesia, but the step up in quality will be a huge culture shock for their squad.

Georgios Donis' side, who are still adapting to his tactics after his appointment in March, are a level below Senegal in all departments and that should be pretty evident from the first whistle on Wednesday.

Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 3/4

Both teams have been involved in some lively games of late, but that record should change this week.

Saudi Arabia's last four games have contained over 2.5 goals, while the same bet would have landed in three of Senegal's last four.

However, this friendly is the last chance of both camps to experiment, and more importantly, protect their best players.

With conditions set to make life tough for both squads, neither set of players will want to risk an injury on the eve of a World Cup, so there's every chance that it will affect the quality of play at both ends of the pitch.

Saudi Arabia v Senegal Bet Builder Tip

• Sadio Mane to score

• Most corners - Senegal

  Pays @ 7/2

Former Liverpool ace Sadio Mane is still at the heart of Senegal's attacks, and he should have a big say in the outcome of Wednesday's tie.

He scored 10 goals for Al-Nassr this season and he has scored five goals in his last two appearances for Senegal, including a brace against the USA.

With Senegal expected to dominate, they should win the corner count. Despite losing 3-2 to the USA last week, they won the corner count 7-4.

They should have far more of the ball than their opponents and that should be reflected in the set-piece stats at full-time.
