France, Dec. 27 -- The sides square off for the third time in 18 months following two matches during the African qualifying campaign for next year's World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

A 1-1 draw played out in Dakar in June 2024 and Senegal won 3-2 in Kinshasa in September.

"Against Senegal, who are for me one of the best teams in Africa, it is impossible to achieve anything without tactical discipline and excellent control when you have to take risks," said Desabre.

"But I have players who are very tactically astute, and that is an important asset."
