Preview: Senegal vs. United Arab Emirates

Sports Mole previews the Olympic Group A clash between Senegal and United Arab Emirates.

Senegal clash with Group A rivals United Arab Emirates at the City of Coventry Stadium on Wednesday.

The African nation stunned Uruguay on Sunday to move top of the group, and they need just a single point to be sure of qualification.

Meanwhile, they can win the group if Great Britain, who face Uruguay, fail to match their result in Group A's other encounter.

Senegal also boast the joint top scorer at the competition, Moussa Konate, who has three goals to his name along with Honduras striker Jerry Bengston.

UAE cannot secure qualification after losing their first two matches, but they could claim third spot if Uruguay lose to Team GB.

Senegal are expected to replace suspended defender Abodulaye Ba with Cheikhou Kouyate, while UAE will reportedly name the same XI for the third match in a row.

Possible lineups:

Senegal: O'Mane; Toure, Kara, Gueye, Ciss; Mane, Kouyate, Diame, Souare; Badji, Konate

UAE: Khaseif; Hussain, Ahmed, Al Kamali, Sanqour; Ismaeel, O Abdlrahman, A Abdoulraham, Eisa; Matar, Khalil

Sports Mole says: 2-2
