He is only expected to make one change with Mamelodi Sundowns’ Lebohang Maboe starting in support of striker Victor Letsoalo due to his big-game experience.
Senegal Form
Senegal have won five of their last six matches, including two friendly wins against Zambia and Cape Verde in June. They made a slow start to their COSAFA Cup campaign, losing 2-1 to Namibia in their opening fixture.
Since then, Joseph Kotu’s side have been excellent with three victories. Pape Djitte secured a 1-0 win for Senegal against Mozambique before the Lions of Teranga came from a goal down to beat Zimbabwe 2-1.
In a must-win final group match, Senegal defeated Malawi 2-1. Abu Diop scored a brace which included a 92nd minute winner.
Senegal came through a dramatic semi-final against ten-man Eswatini on penalties after the match ended 2-2. Senegal were 2-0 down after 20 minutes but Pape Djitte pulled one back on 58 minutes and El Hadji Kane leveled matters 10 minutes from the end.
