Senegal thrashed Sudan 3-1 in a comfortable win, while Mali advanced after a 1-1 draw against Tunisia, winning on penalties.
Mali are one of the most resilient teams and are difficult to break down. Hence, it is expected to be a cagey game where Senegal’s attacking line could prove decisive. Les Aigles have drawn most of their matches, while their opponents have been scoring to secure victories.
The game kicks off at 16:00 local time in Morocco and will be the first quarter-final of the tournament.
