SEN vs UGN Dream11 Team Prediction : Uganda Vs Senegal Round Of 16 AFCON Best Dream 11 Team

SEN vs UGN Dream11 Team: Equally balanced sides set to throw a finely poised battle our way when Uganda and Senegal take on each other today

With the group stage matches behind us and the showpiece tournament making a foray into it first knock-out stage, today’s encounter is all what the Africa Cup Of Nations is about. With Uganda and Senegal facing off against each, we have an extremely riveting encounter our way, one which promises to regale us given the identity of the two sides.

They might have ended in second position in Group, falling in the one encounter against Algeria to end on 6 points but the nature of their performances only exudes confidence. They are a supreme attacking unit, filled with exceptional performers who love taking the onus on themselves to deliver an outright, something which has taken Senegal right to the echelons of African football.

Currently placed on second place in the number of goals scored with the 5, Senegal will looking to continue with the same gameplan which has served them fantastically up till now. However in Uganda, they’ll be facing one of their sternest tests till date especially with the consequences and ramifications stemming out of the clash.

They enter the round of 16 after having ended second as well in Group A but the form they showed till now has been extremely lacklustre. They’ve encountered all types of results, winning the one, drawing the one and losing the one, an extremely inconsistent run of form which they’ll need to immediately address come today’s encounter. 

Probable Winner

We see Senegal winning this as comprehensively as it gets. They are far the better unit out of these two teams, in both the defending and attacking facet and Uganda’s side are bound to crumble under the immense pressure which they come under on the day.

At the end of the match, the scoreline can easily emerge silly in Senegal’s favour. This match should be as one-sided as they get with Senegal making it through to the quarter-final stage. 

Goal-Keeper for SEN vs UGN Dream11

Given the huge stakes riding on this encounter, we don’t see a cleansheet being kept in this one. Both the sides are more than imbued with attacking abilities and given that our goal-keeper choice is solely based on shot saving capabilities. Given that, we have chosen to bring in Denis Onyango into our playing setup for this one. 

Defenders for SEN vs UGN Dream11

Based on the same narrative, we have opted to bring in just the three bare minimum of requisite defenders into our Dream 11 side for the day. The majority are from Senegal given the fact that they’ve conceded just the sole goal, keeping cleansheets in two matches.

Coming in first is Napoli CB Kalidou Koulibaly given his preference to make the marauding runs up the pitch and find himself one the end of assists or headers from the corners. Lamine Gassama is another exuberant goal scorer, finding the goal against Kenya and he makes a foray in our side as well.

It’s an all Senegal backline for us with Saliou Ciss completing the trio for us. 

Midfielders for SEN vs UGN Dream11

He missed a penalty the last time around but followed it up with the two goals against Kenya and Liverpool’s Sadio Mane is the first player we are getting into our side. Senegal have engulfed us in an exemplary attacking display and we can easily see them obliterating Uganda today which sees us go for Ismailia Sarr as well from their side here.

Time to compensate ourselves with the selections from Uganda and Farouk Miya, Khalid Aucho and Lumala Abdu are all chosen by us as we bring in a mix of the defensive as well as attacking minded options to imbed in the points in our side.

Strikers for SEN vs UGN Dream11

With M’Baye Niang being the most astounding option they’ve gotten in their strike force, the Senegal striker comes in for us. Given the number of moves Senegal make and the chances they create, he can easily get himself a goal in this one.

From Uganda, Allan Kyambadde wraps up our side for us.

Captain And Vice-Captain

Ismailia Sarr is our captain for this one while Sadio Mane has been chosen as the vice-captain pick.
