Senegal have been one of the disappointments of the World Cup so far but they have the chance to transform their fortunes tonight when they face Iraq in Toronto.
Having won the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations only to be downgraded to runners-up by CAF showed the calibre of Pape Thiaw’s squad but they have yet to pick up a point from tough games with France and Norway.
It is still mathematically possible for them to advance to the knockout stages but they require a huge win over Iraq and for other results to go their way to sneak through as one of the best third-placed finishers.
Iraq start the night with no points and a goal difference of -6.
