THE TEAM NEWS

GUINEA

Ibrahim Diakite replaced full-back Antoine Conte in their opening match against Cameroon but then Conte was brought on to replace Diakite against Gambia so it is up in the air who starts at right-back. Naby Keita did return to action but he remains below full fitness.

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Kone; Conte, Diakhaby, Jeanvier, I.Sylla; Moriba, Toure; Guilavogui, Camara, S. Sylla; Bayo

UNAVAILABLE:

QUESTIONABLE: Keita (Injured), Diakite (Injured)

SENEGAL

Senegal have been dealing with a couple of injury concerns during this tournament, such as Ismaila Sarr and Nicolas Jackson, but the defending champions have eased into the knockout stages so may be keen to rotate for this one anyway.

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): E. Mendy; F. Mendy, Koulibaly, Kouyate, Jakobs; P. Sarr, Ciss, I. Gueye; I. Sarr, Jackson, Ndiaye

UNAVAILABLE:

THE PREDICTION

Guinea began their campaign with a creditable draw against Cameroon before then edging past the Gambians. Guinea have a strong squad with a good core featuring the likes of Mouctar Diakhaby, Ilaix Moriba and Mohamed Bayo. The avoidance of defeat here will secure them a top two spot and they take on a Senegalese side that will be keen on ensuring they stay top but also potentially keen on rotating ahead of their knockout stages so a game in which absolutely nothing happens will suit both sides.

TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
