Ivory Coast v Egypt, 17:00 CET, Japoma Stadium, Douala
The biggest test for Carlos Queiroz as an Egypt manager so far. The Ivory Coast are among the strongest teams in this tournament, and what they did to Algeria sent a message to the leading teams in the competition. Egypt will need to be at their best defensively, and to try and push forward through Mo Salah or Mostafa Mohammed when they get the chance.
BabaGol’s prediction: It will be a tough evening for Egyptian football. Ivory Coast to win.
Mali v Equatorial Guinea, 20:00 CET, Limbe Stadium, Limbe
Mali are traditionally branded as AFCON’s ‘dark horses’, but making it to the quarterfinals is something pretty usual for them. Equatorial Guinea shocked Algeria and will hope to dazzle Mali as well with a combative display.
BabaGol’s prediction: Mali to win.
AFCON 2021 big final is here, and we predict the clash of the titans between Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané, Egypt and Senegal.
