Senegal vs Mauritania prediction: Match preview, betting odds and tips on October 14, 2025
World Cup Qualification CAF
In the 10th round of the African World Cup qualifiers, the national teams of Senegal and Mauritania will face off on October 14, 2025.
Our Prediction for the Senegal vs Mauritania Match
Senegal has already played in three World Cups, including in 2018 and 2022, and twice reached the playoffs. In 2021, they finally won the Africa Cup of Nations, but in the next edition, they were eliminated in the Round of 16. This qualification campaign hasn’t been as solid as expected, though they still remained group leaders.
The Mauritania national team made its AFCON debut in 2019. Since then, they have participated in two more tournaments and even reached the playoffs in 2023. However, this year they will not take part. In the qualifiers, their main goal is simply to avoid finishing last.
Mané and his teammates played South Sudan in the previous round, stopping only after scoring five unanswered goals. The outsiders faced Sudan and earned a respectable away goalless draw.
