The second game today of the FIFA World Cup 2022 is between the European giants, the Netherlands and the African champions, Senegal. The venue for the match is Al Thumama stadium, and the match begins at 9:30 p.m. IST.

The Oranje missed the FIFA World Cup in Russia, and they will look to better their 3rd place finish from the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Senegal has been struck with a big blow with their leader Sadio Mane missing out due to injury.

The Unbeaten Streak of Senegal and the Netherlands.

Both Senegal and the Netherlands are yet to lose their opening game in a FIFA World Cup tournament. They have never faced each other before, so today’s meeting will be the first time they play against each other.

Senegal has had a glorious runoff late. They are the champions of Africa after beating Egypt. The orange, on the other hand, has had a successful Euro as well under Louis Van Gaal’s 3rd spell as manager.

The last time Van Gaal was manager, the Netherlands made it to the semifinals of the FIFA World Cup 2014. Having missed out on the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands are looking to stamp their authority on the big stage this time.

No Sadio Mane and Memphis Depay in Today’s Game

Just before the World Cup could begin, the Senegalese captain suffered an injury in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich. Sadio has been Senegal’s pivot in the African Nations Cup. He lead his team from the front and eventually made them champions of Africa.
