Senegal are not favourites to win the Afcon title - Moussa Konate

Moussa Konate has insisted that Senegal are not favourites to win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on June 21.

Senegal qualified for the African showpiece without defeat, winning five games and drawing one to emerge as Group A leaders with 10 points.

The impressive performances earned the top spot as the best football nation in Africa and 23rd in the world on the last released Fifa ranking.

The Terenga Lions have never clinched the African title, with their best performance being the 2002 edition where they finished as runners-up after losing on penalties to Cameroon.
