The African cup of nations has now reached it’s Semifinals stage and four strong teams remain in the competition. The first semi final will be played between Senegal and Tunisia.
Senegal, who had an erratic start to the group stage have been effective in the knockout stage and come into this game on the back of a tight victory against Benin. One might argue that they have not been there at their best but in such competitions all that matters is winning.
Tunisia, on the other hand thumped minnows Madagascar in the quarter final by 3-0 and will be feeling very confident in this game, however Senegal offer a whole new level of difficulty and they will be expecting a tough game.

Sadio Mane
The Liverpool man had a lot to prove post a poor outing against Algeria but came back strongly against Kenya and Uganda. Expect him to deliver big in this must win game specially having scored in the previous game and been the Golden boot in the previous premier league season . His stats are below
Goals : 3 Assist :1
Idrissa Gueye
The Everton player has been very good for his team and it was his strike that took them to the semi-finals. He will look to be influential in this game as well
Goals : 1 Assist :1
X factor star – Kalidou Koulibaly, A prime transfer target, all eyes will be on him and how he plays in this big match. Having played for Napoli he has a high percentage of possession upto 88%. .
Tunisia
Youssef Msakni
The midfielder has been the best player for Tunisia in this tournament with his creative vision and prolific workrate. He already has two goals in this tournament and he was the best player in the quarterfinal match.
Goals 2 Assist 1
Wahbi Khazri
The forward has been impressive for his club and country off late and was a key figure in Tunisia’s impressive display in the last year’s world cup. His stats for his club St. Etienne are as follows.
Goals -13 Assists 6
X factor star – Taha Khenissi, He scored his first goal of the competition in the Round of 16 and can be a dangerous goal scorer in the game being the target man for the attack.
Should be a tight win for Senegal winning 2-1 .
