These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Hamdi Fathi and Sadio Mané are the top scorers for Senegal in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Al Heidos and Akram Hassan Afif are the top scorers for Qatar in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
