Qatar vs Senegal Prediction & Pick
The final score was not indicative to how Senegal played against the Netherlands. The Africans stayed in the mix until the very end and even had a few chances to take the lead. The same thing cannot be said about Qatar. They were down early in the first hal f and never had a shot to come back.
Both of these teams desperately need a win to stay in contention for a Round of 16 spot and I give the edge to Senegal. Senegal tallied 4 shots on target and earned 6 corners in its opening match. Qatar didn't notch a single shot on target and earned only 1 corner. The host team is struggling.
Final Score Prediction:'Qatar: 1 | Senegal: 2

Each defense gave up 2 goals in the opening round of play, too. The rust has been shaken off, so expect both teams to find the back of the net in a high-scoring match.
