Senegalese Premier League Season Nears End Amid High-Scoring Campaign
As the 2013-2014 Senegalese Premier League season approaches its final stages, with just four matches remaining, the campaign has already been notable for its attacking flair and record goal-scoring feats.
A total of 275 goals have been netted across 154 matches, setting a new high in the history of the league, where previously missed chances often dominated play. The league’s current average stands at an impressive 1.78 goals per game, highlighting a shift toward more offensive football.
At the summit, Jaraaf Dakar leads not only the standings but also boasts the most potent attack, having scored 29 goals — 16 at home and 13 on the road, over 11 matches each. In stark contrast, the struggling Yeggo side, positioned bottom of the table, has managed only 11 goals all season, averaging a goal every two games.
Defensively, AS Pikine, runners-up to Jaraaf Dakar, hold the best record with just 11 goals conceded, narrowly ahead of US Ouakam (USO), who have allowed 12 goals.
After 22 matchdays, the league has seen 95 victories — 59 at home and 36 away — alongside 59 draws. Jaraaf Dakar tops the wins chart with 11, while Yeggo has only managed two victories.
Remarkably, two teams remain unbeaten on home soil: AS Pikine, with seven wins and four draws, and Stade de Mbour, with four wins and seven draws. Jaraaf Dakar leads the away form table with 19 points, just ahead of NGB’s 18.
With 12 points still available in the final four matches, Jaraaf Dakar requires just nine points to secure the league title. Meanwhile, Yeggo faces a must-win scenario in the 23rd round to keep their hopes of survival alive, trailing the nearest safe team, SUNEOR, by nine points.
As the season draws to a close, all eyes will be on whether Jaraaf Dakar can maintain their attacking dominance and claim the championship, and if the relegation battle will produce any dramatic twists.
