Gambia vs Cameroon

The hosts would be happy with their quarter-final draw. 

They barely made it through against Comoros in the Round of 16 despite the small African nation having no real goalkeeper and picking an early red card. 

The Gambia on their part qualified over a heavily favoured Guinea side. The host would be wary of the underdog tag that has so far favoured the Gambians.

Prediction for the match is a qualification for Cameroon based on the home support and superior firepower. 

Premium tip Aboubakar to score at 2.50 odds on BetKing.

Burkina Faso vs Tunisia

The North African side picked qualification ahead of a heavily stacked Nigerian side in a match of so many sides.

This time they face another West African team in Burkina Faso. The Stallions have grown stronger in these rounds despite needing penalties against Gabon. They have a well marshalled defence with Edmond Tapsoba at the helm. Their wingers in Bande and Bertrand Traore are quick and skillful. 

Tunisia will have the luxury of several players back in their team although their style is unlikely to change much. 

Prediction for this game is a low scoring affair. Under 1.5 goals in the first half at 1.23 odds on BetKing.
