Senegal is aiming to make it five this Tuesday against Burundi. On a series of four victories in a row, the Lions of Teranga intend to end their qualifying campaign for the African Cup of Nations with another victory. And this even if the result will not have a big impact on the destiny of this team, already qualified for the 2025 edition in Morocco and in a very favorable bid for first place in group L.
This last meeting of the international break could, however, allow Pape Thiaw to further establish his position on the Senegal bench. The former assistant to Aliou Cissé, whom he replaced after his ouster to everyone’s surprise in October, has so far performed the interim role perfectly, racking up three victories without conceding a single goal. Enough to gain some support, including that of the legend of the selection Mamadou Niang, for his retention in post.
The Senegal-Burundi kickoff is scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, at 8 p.m. The match will be followed live on BeIN Sports 2.
