At 0:00 Beijing time on November 22, the Netherlands will face Senegal in the first round of Group A of the Qatar World Cup. According to the authoritative data analysis before the match, the probability of the Dutch team winning is very high, with a probability of winning reaching 56.68%, a probability of a draw between the two teams is 24.61%, and a probability of Senegal winning is only 18.71%.
In the other match in the first round of Group A, hosts Qatar lost 2-0 at the feet of Ecuador, and the strongest team in the group was European powerhouse Netherlands. Although the Netherlands are not the favourites to win the title, they are still in the top 10 on the odds of winning the title.
Before the Netherlands went to the World Cup, there were no warm-up matches due to the suspension of the European League, while in the previous UEFA Nations League, the Netherlands had an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 1 draw, and the Netherlands won the last three games against Wales, Poland and Belgium. Before the World Cup, the overall form of the Dutch team was maintained well.
Senegal also did not have warm-up matches before the World Cup, and training camps were organized during the international break in September, but two warm-up matches beat Bolivia 2-0 and drew 1-1 against Asian side Iran.
The two teams have not played before, but Senegal has participated in the World Cup for two consecutive years, and there are many players in the team who have more experience in the World Cup, while the Netherlands, who missed the last World Cup, made a comeback this tournament, and most of the players are playing in the World Series for the first time.
However, in terms of strength, the Dutch team still has the upper hand, so the authoritative data analysis before the match shows that the probability of the Netherlands winning is 56.68%, the probability of the two teams drawing is 24.61%, and the probability of Senegal winning is only 18.71%. In addition, in terms of scores, the Netherlands 1-0 and 2-0 are the most favorable.
