Senegal v Netherlands prediction and team news: Who will win Group A game?
Our predictions for Senegal v Netherlands in World Cup 2022 Group A, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Netherlands and Senegal face off in the second game in Group A both knowing that a victory would be a significant step towards qualification for the knockout stages.
The Dutch may be the favourites in this group but they will take nothing for granted after disappointing in Euro 2020 and failing to qualify for the two major tournaments prior to that.
Confidence is high for Senegal heading into the tournament after they secured a first Africa Cup of Nations victory at the start of the year but news that talisman Sadio Mane is set to miss the opener is a serious blow.
Both teams know that their two easier games should still be to come – with Ecuador and hosts Qatar the other sides that make up Group A – but with hopes and expectations high, neither Senegal nor Netherlands will want to start their tournament in defeat.
RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Senegal v Netherlands on TV and online.

Senegal v Netherlands team news
Senegal predicted line-up: E. Mendy; Ballo-Toure, Koulibaly, Diallo, Sabaly; N. Mendy, Gueye, Kouyate; Ndiaye, Dia, Sarr

Senegal v Netherlands prediction
Senegal's AFCON triumph was built on defensive resolve so even without Mane, Netherlands should expect to have their work cut out for them in the opener.
That said, with the Teranga Lions' star man missing, the Dutch will be the clear favourites for Monday's game and to finish top of Group A.
Van Gaal's side will be keen to show that this is indeed a new era and that previous disappointments have been put behind them so a strong start is to be expected.
A backline of van Dijk, de Ligt, and de Vrij will provide real stability at the back but 39-year-old goalkeeper Remko Pasveer, who lacks international experience, looks likely to get the nod and could be shaky early on.
Our prediction: Senegal 0-2 Netherlands (13/2 at bet365)
