Pape Thiaw is expected to keep his trusted backline of Cheikh Sidibe, Cheikhou Ndiaye, Ousmane Diouf, and Sane Mamadou after consecutive clean sheets.
Even though Libasse Ngom was eligible to play against Mauritania, he was only used as a substitute. However, the 19-year-old will be hopeful that he will play in this game.
Last time out, Madagascar’s Solom Raza scored for the third time in a row, making him a player to keep an eye on here.
In the victory over Mozambique, Marcio Ravelomanantsoa made his appearance from the bench immediately, and the winger may be given a chance to start.
