Prediction: Senegal wins
The two teams have everything to play for with Group D widely open ahead of this concluding fixture. Senegal, sitting 73 places above Benin in the FIFA rankings and boasting more quality than the Cheetahs, are the favorites to secure victory.
They have scored in each of their last seven competitive games and in their last five matchups with Benin. However, we expect a moderate scoreline in Tuesday's encounter given both team's recent results as highlighted in our key points. Our Benin vs Senegal prediction is Senegal wins and between 2–4 total goals.

Benin fell 1–0 to DR Congo in their 2025 AFCON opener. Theo Bongonda's 16th-minute strike proved decisive, condemning the Cheetahs to their second consecutive defeat in a competitive fixture.
However, they were able to bounce back in their second group match, defeating Botswana 1–0, courtesy of Yohan Roche's first-half goal. They held Senegal to a 1–1 draw in their last competitive meeting, but have lost four of their last five competitive clashes with the Teranga Lions.

Senegal opened their 2025 AFCON campaign with a commanding victory over Botswana. On-loan Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson bagged a brace to inspire the Teranga Lions to a 3–0 win against the Zebras. They drew 1-1 against DR Congo in their second group match, thanks to Sadio Mane's 69th-minute equalizer.
Notably, the last time Senegal suffered defeat in a competitive fixture was in the 2023 AFCON Round of 16 against hosts and eventual champions Ivory Coast. They have won six of their last seven competitive games, drawing one (excluding African Nations Championship results).
Senegal will parade a largely unchanged squad from the one that faced Botswana with Mendy returning on goal, while Kalidou Koulibaly and Moussa Niakhate lead the defense. Head coach Pape Thiaw has stuck to the 'Gueye duo' (Idrissa Gueye and Pape Gueye) in deep midfield and the pair is expected to return to the starting eleven.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Senegal -1.5/2
