Benin VS Senegal

The Africa Cup of Nations group stage will take place on 31/12/2025 at 03:00 UTC and will feature Benin at home to Senegal. Based on the odds provided by users (Benin wins 8.50, draws 5.50, Senegal wins 1.33), the market data clearly points to the visiting team Senegal as the absolute favourites.

Benin's recent form has been up and down, with mediocre performances in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and friendlies, exposing obvious problems on the defensive end and a lack of stable firepower on the offensive end. As a top team in Africa, Senegal has a very stable record recently, with a very high winning rate in all competitions, a luxurious team lineup, and a balanced strength on three lines, especially in the offensive line led by a number of stars from Europe's top five leagues.

Judging from the historical head-to-head records of the two teams, Senegal has an overwhelming advantage. In the past many meetings, Senegal have not only won more than lost, but often won by big scores. Benin faced Senegal at a clear disadvantage in terms of technical, physical and tactical levels, and was also at a psychological disadvantage.

The initial odds offered by the odds agency (8.50 for home wins, 5.50 for draws, 1.33 for away wins) clearly reflect the huge difference in strength between the two sides. The extremely low odds of an away win of 1.33 mean that Senegal is considered by the agency to have a very high probability of winning, while the odds of a home win and a draw are both high, indicating that Benin's chances of an upset are seriously undervalued at the statistical level. This combination of odds aligns perfectly with the fundamental positioning of both teams.

Based on the strength gap between the two sides, recent form, historical head-to-head and overwhelming odds data, Senegal winning away from home is a high probability event. It is predicted that Senegal will control the pace of the game with its stronger overall strength and individual ability, and it will be difficult for Benin to pose a substantial threat to them. The most likely outcome is Senegal winning by more than one goal.
