The Africa Cup of Nations is boiling up to a thrilling conclusion as Burkina Faso and Senegal clash in the semi-finals this week.

Liverpool superstar Sadio Mane will be determined to make the most of this opportunity to go all the way.

He is Senegal’s brightest hope as they aim to reach the final in back-to-back tournaments. They were defeated finalists in 2019.

Burkina Faso were defeated finalists in 2013, but they don’t boast the same pedigree on the global stage as their opponents this evening.

The winner will face the victory of hosts Cameroon and Mo Salah’s Egypt, to be contested in the second semi-final.

Our prediction: Burkina Faso v Senegal

Senegal are the favourites here. They boast a superb defensive record in the tournament with four clean sheets in five matches.

Their only goal conceded came in the quarter-finals during a 3-1 win over Equatorial Guinea.

Goals failed to flow for Senegal in the group stages, but they’ve found their feet with five strikes in two knockout matches and should get the job done here.

Our prediction: Burkina Faso 0-2 Senegal (6/1 at bet365)
