The context of the final group game often dictates a slower, more cautious tempo. Benin is on the verge of a historic knockout berth and knows that an open game against the Lions of Teranga would be suicidal. They will likely mirror the defensive setup that earned them a clean sheet against Botswana. Meanwhile, Senegal has some fitness concerns, with Ismaïla Sarr potentially sidelined. This could slightly blunt their creative edge on the flanks. While Sadio Mane is always a threat, Benin’s strategy will be to double up on him and force Senegal to play through the middle. With Benin struggling for creativity and Senegal occasionally lacking efficiency in the final third, the Under 2.5 Goals bet looks solid. It is hard to see Benin scoring against this Senegal defense, and Senegal might not need to push for more than one or two goals to secure their objectives.
