Match description
Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 2. Senegal is the second big sensation in our round because he has the physicality, intensity and mentality needed to punish Belgium. Belgium has bigger names, but its structure without the ball does not look stable enough to calmly control the quick transitions of Senegal. We expect a close match, but with more real breakthrough moments for Senegal. Our prediction is 33% for Belgium, 32% for draw and 35% for Senegal. Most likely exact score: 1:2. Promotion: Senegal (48% vs 52%). Status: BET
