The national team of Senegal started the fight for the trophy in Group B. The Lions of Teranga took first place thanks to five points scored against Zimbabwe (1-0), Guinea (0-0), and Malawi (0:0). In the 1/8 finals, the Senegalese overcame the resistance of Cape Verde (2-0), and on January 30, they beat one of the sensations of the current tournament, the national team of Equatorial Guinea (3-1). Famara Diedhiou, Cheikhou Kouyate, and Ismaila Sarr scored goals for the winners.
The statistics of head-to-head matches between Burkina Faso and Senegal indicate a clear advantage for the Lions of Teranga. They gained three victories and five draws and lost only one friendly match in December 2001 (2-4). These teams played their last head-to-head matches in the 2018 World Cup qualification. The game in Senegal ended without goals, and in Burkina Faso, the teams scored two times each (2-2). The national team of Senegal will be the favorite in the upcoming game. The Lions have good statistics of head-to-head matches, a higher level of players, and excellent defense. The Stallions have already surpassed themselves, knocking out Tunisia in the last round, but it will be difficult for them to create a second sensation in a row.
Prediction for the match: Senegal to win
