In the face of the Elephants of Ivory Coast, Senegal has no other option but victory to secure a spot in the 2014 World Cup in Rio. After being defeated 3-1 during the first leg in Abidjan, the Teranga Lions must beat the Ivorians with a two-goal difference to qualify. Patrick Neveu, who has just extended his contract with the Mauritanian national team, believes that Senegal is a team capable of achieving an exploit, but the 3-goal deficit complicates the situation. Senegal needs to attack and look for the first opportunity, while Ivory Coast is calm and already projected for the World Cup. Neveu suggests that Senegal might use this match to prepare for future competitions.
