Senegal resume their qualifying campaign for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations away to Congo at the Stade Alphonse Massemba-Debat in Brazzaville on Friday.
Aliou Cisse's men have already booked their place in the Cameroon finals with a 100% record so far, having won all four group matches.
However, the 2019 runners-up will be looking to close out the phase on a high.
Congo are currently second in the group and look set to qualify for the competition as they need just three more points from the remaining two games.
After suffering a 2-0 defeat to Senegal in the opening game, the Red Devils recovered well and sit four points clear of Guinea-Bissau in the group.
Congo vs Senegal Head-To-Head
Senegal have won exactly half of their eight meetings with Congo, losing only twice. The last time Congo beat Senegal was way back in 1972.
In the first leg of their qualifying clash, the Lions of Teranga emerged 2-0 victors against Congo. The Senegalese also won by the same scoreline on their previous visit to Congo.
