Burkina Faso vs. Senegal

Date: Wednesday, February 2

Venue: Ahmadou Ahidjo, Yaounde

Time: 7pm GMT

These two teams have never won the AFCON trophy. Burkina Faso were second in 2013 and third in 2017. They will be hoping that they can do even better after beating Tunisia in the quarter-finals this year. Burkina Faso have won two matches, drawn three, and lost one. They don’t concede many goals, meaning they are tough to beat.

Burkina Faso will come up against Senegal, who overcame Equatorial Guinea. The team also seems to have peaked at the right time. Senegal have won three matches and drawn three. Moreover, all their matches have had few goals, with an average of 1.17 goals per match. It might be challenging for Burkina Faso to score in the semi-final clash. Therefore, Senegal are likely to win this match with a narrow 1-0. 

Cameroon vs. Egypt

Date: Thursday, February 3, 2022

Venue: Olembe Stadium, Yaounde

Time: 7pm GMT

Cameroon, the hosts, have been impressive throughout the tournament. They qualified for the semi-finals thanks to a comfortable 2-0 win against Gambia. The Indomitable Lions will face off with Egypt, who have had a tough run to the semi-finals.

The Egyptians have faced off with Ivory Coast and Morocco in the knock-out stages. Fortunately, they have Mohammed Salah, who has the capability to settle tough matches with a moment of brilliance.

Many AFCON commentators believe that the winner of this tie could end up winning the tournament. It remains to be seen how true that statement is. In the meantime, Cameroon vs. Egypt might end up being the best match in the tournament.

Cameroon will be hoping to continue where they left from against Gambia. They had 60% of the ball and 18 shots on target. They have not lost a single game in the tournament, having won five and drawn one. Additionally, they have only conceded four goals.

On the other hand, Egypt comes into this match having created momentum after overcoming tough challenges along the way. They have won four matches, drawn one, and lost one.

Egypt will need to play their best football if they are to score against Cameroon. On the other hand, backed by home fans, Cameroon should be able to get a 2-0 comfortable win. This win will make them favorites to lift the trophy on home soil.
