JAKARTA - The 2022 World Cup Group A match continues again. On Monday, November 21 at 23.00 WIB, it was the turn of the Senegal national team to face the Dutch at the Al Thumama Stadium.
The meeting between the Lion Teranga and the Netherlands will be the first time because the two teams have never met. Senegal, who holds the status of African champions, is felt to be lame because they appear without a mainstay player, Sadio Mane, who was sent home due to injury.
Even so, Senegal still has mainstay heroes such as Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Fode Ballo-Toure, and Idrissa Gueye in tonight's match.
On the other hand, the Netherlands became a team that deserves to be championed in this match. The reason is, Louis van Gaal's team have more equal strength with the presence of Virgil van Dijk, Stefan de Vrij, to Matthijs de Ligt in the back lines.
With that row of names, The Oranje is arguably one of the strongest defense teams in the 2022 World Cup. Based on records from the qualifying round, the Dutch national team was even able to score a total of 33 goals and conceded only eight times from ten matches.
Looking at Senegal's notes, Aliou Cisse's team is not too flashy. From the last five matches they have played, they have appeared less consistent. Senegal only won once when they met Bolivia in a friendly last September, the remaining one lost and three draws.
In contrast to the Teranga Lion troops, the Dutch national team actually pocketed a better capital for tonight's meeting. Van Dijk et al recorded four wins from their last five matches, never losing and only drawing once when they met Poland in the UEFA Nations League.
