The Senegal World Cup 2022 odds do not point towards the Africa Cup of Nations holders lifting the trophy but they could be dangerous enough for history to repeat itself.
It is 20 years since Senegal stunned world champions France in the opening game of the World Cup on their way to the last eight and they have been handed the chance of another early upset - against another European powerhouse in the shape of the Netherlands.
Sadio Mane's injury is a blow but the Lions of Teranga will have nothing to fear going into that one after storming through their qualifying group with five wins and a draw before taking care of Egypt on penalties in the play-off.
They also beat the Pharaohs in a shootout to clinch the Africa Cup of Nations, with Mane hitting the winning spot-kick on both occasions.
