Boulaye Dia to score
Dia is currently on loan at Salernitana from Villarreal, and he’s bagged six goals in 14 appearances for the Italian side this season.
Typically in Sadio Mane’s shadow for the national side, Dia will see this match against Qatar as an excellent opportunity to add to his tally for his country, and he looks a big price to get on the scoresheet.
Ismaila Sarr to provide an assist
And with any luck, it could be Watford’s Ismaila Sarr who tees up Dia at some point.
Sarr was impressive against the Dutch, and he’ll fancy his chances of unlocking a Qatar defence that struggled to deal with the pace and energy of Ecuador.
Krepin Diatta to have 1 or more shots on target
Diatta was in solid form in the run-up to Qatar - he registered an assist in each of his last two appearances for Monaco before heading to the World Cup.
He had two attempts against the Netherlands in Senegal’s opening game, and he should enjoy plenty of space against a Qatar side that looked poor in their defeat to Ecuador - take Diatta to test the keeper at least once in this clash.
