Trailing behind their opponent of the day, the 2021 AFCON winner must win to take a serious step towards securing a spot in the global tournament.

Deprived of several key players, coach Pape Thiaw will delve into his rich squad to find suitable replacements.

Coach Pap Thiaw is expected to rely on the following lineup: Edouard Mendy, Ilay Camara, Moussa N'Diaye, Khalidou Koulibaly, Abdou Diallo, Idrissa Gueye, Lamine Camara, Pape Matar Sarr, Sadio Mané, Assane Diao, and Boulaye Dia.
