5pts Senegal to beat South Africa 1.91 Partybets

I know Senegal have had their problems with their coach and things but even so Senegal are a massive price here given the quality they possess in their side. Players like El Hadji Diouf, Henri Camara, Dionmansy Kamara and Mamadou Niang are seriously good and even in midfield and defence they are not weak. The coach situation won't have helped but hopefully it will have galvanised the team.

South Africa have stated all through this tournament that they are looking towards 2010 and it's shown. There's a lot of youth in the side and they have made some elementary mistakes. That was their downfall against Tunisia and if they continue with them mistakes they'll be soundly beaten again. Steven Pienaar faces a fitness test here and although both can still qualify, Senegal would have the better chance of winning well enough to get involved in the qualification shakeup and I think they'll win this and hope it's good enough to go through.
